JUNIOR GRADES

MOISTS A WIN CUP. In glorious weather on Saturday after noon the cricket season was brought to a closeThe junior grade has had a most susccssful and enjoyable season, it being voted by all the players as the best yet experienced- This no doubt was due to the brilliant weather, aided by Mr Sidey’s daylight saving. The dividing into two divisions of the 14 teams contesting the junior championship, contributed largely to the success of the season, but the play oft between the winners of the A and B Divisions did not meet with universal favour, it being considered that a second trophy should have been awarded the winners of the lower division. The junior competition is growing very rapidly, and next year no doubt will see further additions to this year’s quota of fourteen teams. The competition in the A Division was keenly contested and, as predicted in these notes at the beginning of the season, the winner came fron. one of the three teams named. Marists A, who won the championship, deserved their win and played good cricket. Wanganui, runners-up, and Railway, who filled third place, Iso played good cricket, but their form was not so consistently good as the winners. A coincidence in the final points is that Aramoho and St. Andrew’s, who tie for fourth place, were level at the top of the ladder last ~eason. The final points in the A Division are as follow: Marists A 42 Wanganui .. .. 36 Railway 34 Aramoho 19 St- Andrew’s 19 Tech. A 16 Collegiate A 14 Old Boys . . 7 JUNIOR TEAM. .GAME AGAINST MANAWATU. .

A FRIENDLY GAME EASTOWN WORKSHOPS AND ARAMOHO lhe annual cricket match between Eastown Workshops and Aramoho was played on Beat Park on Saturday afternoon and alter au enjoyable game victory rested with shops who won by 53 runs. The presence and, advice of the old intcrnauonal, Charlie Price, enthused confidence into his mates wno fie Wed well, especially J. Lean, who brought off sevoral smart catches. The absence of “Cocky” Carpenter in the ’Shop’s team was regretted by the Aramoho boys who were eager to see him in action, but the game of bowls was a greater attraction for this genial sport. Aramoho batted first and were all out for 61, Wainwright and Pepper making 17 each. Cooper did well witn the bail being ably backed up by Lean and Voltz. 'Shops replied- with 114, Savage and Lean made a goal stand for the sc-c' ond wicket and Gilbertson played a fine innings for 28. Price opened with the confidence of an old hand and made some good carpet drives, but in playing forward missed the leather. Bevege made two fine catches in the field.
