CRICKET

SATURDAY’S MATCHES TWO FIRST INNINGS WINS Fine weather prevailed on Saturday for the continuation of the South Canterbury Cricket Association’s competitions. In the senior grade, two matches were played in town, and one at Temuka. At the Park, Star and Geraldine tried conclusions, Star gaining a win on the first innings by 45 runs. School and Celtic were closely matched the former gaining a win on the first innings by three runs. At Temuka, the country eleven and Old Boys put on 301 runs between them during the afternoon. Temuka made 176, and at stumps, Old Boys had lost seven for 125. The match was drawn. School v. Celtic. High School scored a narrow win over Celtic by three runs on the first innings. School took first strike, and compiled 126. Souter and Burnett were the opening pair, Kane and Sullivan taking up the attack. The start was an inauspicious one, Souter snicking Kane’s third delivery into Laing’s hands behind the stumps. Ritchie joined Burnett, and scored at a fairly fast pace, particularly off Sullivan. Burnett was dismissed after having made only two, Sullivan taking a nice low catch. Blue partnered Ritchie, and the pair made a good stand, giving a fine display between the wickets. With his total at 32, Blue was bowled by Sullivan. Celtic’s fielding had been very keen, and the batsmen had to fight for runs. Wilson did not remain long, going lbw., to Purcell, while Gabites was taken by Laing behind the stumps. Ritchie returned a catch to Kane, bringing to a close a bright innings. Apart from Scott, who made 18, none of the remaining batsmen offered much resistance. Kane bowled up to his best form, taking eight wickets for 44 runs. Celtic also made a poor start, losing their opening batsmen, S. and R. Mason, for 4 and 6 respectively. Burton was badly beaten by a ball from Wilson and Sara whipped the bails off smartly. Angland and Purcell stopped the rot, however, and took the total on towards the half century. When he had reached 15, Purcell v/as taken by Souter off Blue. Kane failed to get going properly, and after making seven, placed Blue into Gabites hands. Angland continued to score slowly, but after reaching 53, he was caught and bowled by Ritchie. The innings closed for 123, three runs short of School’s total. Detailed scores are:— HIGH SCHOOL. First Innings.

At Temuka Old Boys drew with the local side, a total of 301 runs being scored. Temuka won the toss and Green decided to bat, on a fast, keen picket. Both Green and Hertnon went for the bowling early, but Thomson on the northern end, and Marriott slowed them down after a few overs. Green gave a chance in Thomson’s fourth over but the wicket-keeper was too far away. Hertnon got in front of one of Marriott’s slows and was sent back to the pavilion. Brittenden and Green were associated for nearly an ;tiour and the latter had just begun to open out when Thomson trapped him. McDougall joined Brittenden but the latter was soon out to Lee. Anderson went soon afterwards. McDougall was in great form. He cut and drove to good effect but did not get batsmen to stay with him long. After scoring 40 he completely collared the bowling and played beautiful strokes all round the wicket. He was stumped when he jumped out to Marriott, after scoring 84 in about 50 minutes. The remaining wickets fell fairly cheaply and the innings closed at 4.43. Tully and Edwards opened Temuka’s attack, Davies and Morrison being separated when the former was given out leg before. Marriott and Morrison were together for a while but a ball which kept low' from Tully beat ' Marriott. Morrison was going well and he and Evans were together for a while ? but the latter was taken in the slips l by King. Scoring steadily Morrison j» and Lee carried the total from 56 to » 88 Lee went for the bowling and despite a maze of fieldsmen in the slips placed a beautiful boundary a ball or * two before being caught by a change of pace. A mis-hit which McDougall * accepted returned Sunley to the stand. * Morrison was dismissed with the last f ball of the match.

The Star-Geraldine match at the Park commenced at 2.15, and It was agreed that if necessary the game conclude at 6.45. The wicket was fast and at times speedy deliveries which rose, troubled the batsmen. Seaton and Button, Star’s opening pair started off at a merry pace, 14 being hit c£E the first two overs. With the total at 24, Button was bowled by S. Callanan. Powell and Seaton treated the bowling with scant respect, until Seaton, who had six boundaries in his tally of 29, placed a leg in front to Scott. Smith joined Powell and the 84 mark was reached when Powell, who had batted well for 30 was bowled by D. Callanan. Hahn became associated with Smith, and it was during this partnership that the century was posted after one hour’s batting. Smith had 16 to his credit when he was beaten by S. Callanan, but Hahn continued at a bright pace. His was the seventh wicket to fall and his total of 31 was secured in confident style. With the exception of Shillito (12) and Williams (10) the other batsmen failed to reach double figures, the innings being declared closed at 4.15 for the loss of nine wickets, with the total at 168. Geraldine opened with S. Callanan and Hayes, the latter being given lbw to Taylor before opening his account. E. Woods who followed was dismissed in similar fashion with Taylor's next ball, and two wickets were down for one run. Malcolmson hit two boundaries and was caught, and D. Callanan joined S. Callanan. The latter was caught off Hahn and D. Callanan followed him to the bank soon afterwards, five wickets being down for 43 runs. The rot was stopped when Scott and Sharpe became associated and confident batting saw the score taken to 97, at which stage Scott was dismissed after a handy 24. Sharpe received little support from the remaining batsmen. He was well beaten by Powell after top scoring with 44, which Included six boundary hits. The side was accounted for at 6.30 p.m., for 123.
