WHAT with Varsity's follow-on against Parnell, Eden's batting marathon against Suburbs, Ponsonby's stubborn stand against Grafton, and Bowley’s rout of North Shore, the conclusion "of the third matches of the season in the Auckland Cricket Association’s senior A grade competition on Saturday provided a veritable feast for cricket j)layers and enthusiasts.
tJELDOM are such diverse turns in K tho tide of club cricket matches witnessed as they were on Saturday. At Eden Park, while McCoy was running through Varsity, the competition leaders, a hundred yards away Mills and Postles were batting on in a great 120 first-wicket stand for Eden against United Suburbs. On tho main arena just a little further off T. McLeod and Guiney were running up tlieir invaluable third wicket partneship of 142 for I’onsonby against Grafton.
