HAMILTON PRIMARY SCHOOLS. THE ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Hamilton Primary Schools’ Crioket Association was held In the Hamilton West School. , . ... The annual report showed that school cricket, in common with cricket generally in the district, was steadily progressing. Ten senior and six junior teams competed last'season, Hillcrest, Fairfield and Forest Lake taking field for the first time. The senior championship went to Whitiora, while East won the junior competition, both teams being undefeated. Steele Park wickets were available for the first time, and the association was indebted to the Waikato Cricket Association for the use 'of matting and the preparation of wickets for eight matches every week. Splendid support was also afforded by the Herbert Smith Trust fund, in the donation of a bat to the boy’with the best hatting average in each team.
