A Great Cricketing Year

The photo above is of our 1st XI and there counterparts from St Pat's Town, Wellington. The teams played a two and a half day fixture with the following result

St Pats batted first and scored 170.
We got rolled for 28 in reply.
St Pats batted again and scored 119.
We needed 260 to chase and came up 15 runs short.

To make up for there disappointment our lads went on to play, and defeat, NPBHS on Friday of last week in their Gillete Cup fixture. We restricted NPBHS to 159 in their 50 overs before scoring the runs with the loss of three wickets in 34 overs. The guys now go on to play Wanganui Collegiate for the right to advance to the national level.

As if that wasn't enough cricket the team is also playing Inglewood Premier Men at the college next week end for the right to play in the Taranaki 2 day final. Watch this space for results.
