Bees

The B's posted a solid win over Old Boys. Rowdy John Blair again on fire!!!

Old Boys 175 all out (were 54/5).
Helgard DeLange 5/53 off 9 overs.

Star Varsity 178/1 off 32 overs
(John Blair 79 n.o., Ferdie Fourie 51 n.o., Sean Mulcahy 27).
Strong win, to retain our second placing in the grade 6 points behind Te Rapa, due to them having beaten us in a one-dayer recently.

Aaas
The As completed their thrashing of Fraser Tech, requiring just an extended morning session to take the required 7 wickets.

Prems
The prems write-up in the paper says it all - looks like the lads outplayed 'Burbs on day two, but couldn't make up the required ground.

That Paddy Goodwin is an ungrateful bastard. We gave him 10 bats last week!!!!

"Eastern Suburbs (350-9 dec) had Star-Varsity on the ropes at 80-4 in reply on the No 2 pitch at the close of play last weekend, but the Burbs had to really battle on day two before finally clinching outright points in the last over of the match.

Bobby Tagore (49) gave the Star first innings a late boost but the side was all out for just 170 runs and asked to follow on.

However, the second innings was more productive, Graeme Billington (74) leading the way, supported by handy efforts from Mark Commins (32), Damian Morrow (31) and captain Robert Brown (31) as Star totalled 285.

Eastern Suburbs then needed 106 off 18 overs to win the match but the side struggled to reach that target, eventually reaching 109-7 for victory with just two balls to spare, Paddy Goodwin whacking two fours in the final over to win the game. "
