MARTON v. POREWA Marton fend Porewa met at the Sports Grounds on Saturday, the game resulting in a draw after a very good match. Marton batted first, compiling 119. A. Staples (42) shaped in nice style, J. Brofed scored a forceful 34 and R. Kerr showed a sound defence for 24. Porewa made a bold bid against time to make the runs, but when the last batsman joined Swainson, four runs were required to win with two balls to complete the finial over. No risks were taken, however, and the match ended in a draw. J. D. Smith showed the best form for Porewa. Following are the scores:— MARTON First Innings S. W. Miller, c Swainson, b Smith 0 A. S.
