CRICKET IN HAMILTON.

SOUTH AUCKLAND SHIELD

FIRST OHALLENQE OF SEASON

WAIPA RETAIN TROPHY.

The Hamilton district Senior A cricket competitions were postponed on Saturday and two representative games were played on the grass wickets at Seddon Park. On No. 2 wicket Waipa, holders of the South Auckland Shield, met Taumarunui fn the first challenge of the season, and a draw in Waipa’s favour resulted. The scoring was unusually ■high for a South Auckland Shield game, due, no doubt, to the match being played on a grass wicket laumarunui won the toss and elected to bat, oompiling the good score of 103. Winger, R. Clough and Beale were the most successful batsmen. E. G. (“Del”) Carter howled very well and secured a good average. Waipa, in reply, had 147 on the board for the loss ■of four wickets when stumps were drawn. Rain interrupted play for about 20 minutes, otherwise \Yaipa would have, in all probability, eclipsed Taumarunui's score before closing time. Oram and Barnett batted freely, thougii the latter was inclined to lift the. ball, and was narrowly missed several times. Details — TAUMARUNUI. —First innings.
