Cricket Season Opens Well For Hunterville HUNTERVILLE, Last Night (OC). —Hunterville got Porewa all out for 84 runs and made 278 runs on the opening day ol the new cricket season. The highest scorer for Porewa was Svendsen, who made a good 23, which included one 6 and two 4’s. Gray was next with 25, which included three 4’s. The only other Porewa player to reach double figures was Marshall, who reached 13. Hunterville made a good beginning with the bowling and soon had Clougher, Smith and Williams out with only 16 runs on the board. The fourth wicket fell at 27, and the fifth, sixth and seventh at 31. Gray and Svendsen made a good stand and brought the total on to 82 before Svendsen fell victim to Finney. The remaining two wickets produced only two more runs. The fielding of the home side was good. No catches were dropped and only eight hits got through to the boundary. The highlight of the afternoon’s play was Finney's score of 122, which included five 6’s and 16 4’s. He gave only one difficult chance. It was a bright knock and speaks well for his chances in the new Plunket Shield side.

The other Hunterville players to re? ch double figures were Darvill 3 n Duncan 20. Reid 18. Whittv 18 end Palmer 10.
