PATEA

I CRICKET One of the best games seen on the 'Oval at the Domain was that between ’ Hawera. and Patea last Saturday. The tivo hours of play were marked by almost brilliant fielding, by both teams. Patea. bailing first, evidentlv were all on their best form, and this resulted in Patea recording their second win this season. Hawera xvas considered doughty opponents, but on the day’s play, Patea proved vastly superior in batting and bowling, although the. fielding of both elexens wits of a high standard. There were several spectacular feats of fielding which raised applause from the watchers. S. Edxvards and Bourke put up a strong partnership, making 70 runs together before Bourke was bowled, and then another 15 were added before Ellis was caught out. Then Edwards xvas caught after a splendid innings, and Gibbs: carried on the good work. With both Gibbs and S. Edwards in such fine hitting form, the score* quickly mounted, and Gibbs followed Edwards’ example in keeping his wivket up until the score had readied 18(5. Hamel partne ed him for a considerable time, and later went on to keep his wicket up to the end, although Pauling was the only other bat’sninn to do any great hitting, and he xvas actually the only batsman of the day Following ate the scores: Patea S. l-.uwards, c Meuli, b Sparrow ..
