Cricket

All four teams lost last Saturday, the juniors losing outright and the others on the first innings.

The consistent Harpur's 41 was the best performance for the seniors. A pleasing feature was the wicket-keeping of Banks, who caught three and stumped one.

McPhail again took five wickets for the seconds. This slow bowler from Wanganui is an undoubted acquisition to the Club. In reaching the thirties McPhail also bated well. Parkin top scored with 45 and Kirkham was another useful contributor.

Although the thirds made 182 (Rutherford 56, Sandford 39 not out, Orman 32), they were easily beaten by Kilbirnie. Runs mount up rapidly on the fast Kilbirnie Recreation Ground, and our bowling was not strong.
