Two Centuries

Compiled The bat again -held sway in Malvern cricket on Saturday. Two centuries were scored, in a riotous 45 minutes, the Sheffield opening pair, N. Q. Wright and K. Howarth, scored 130 without being separated. They will not be playing next week as they are both selected for a representative match. G. Ridgen laid a good foundation to the Greendale innings with a sound 109 against Kirwee. In fact, Including the scores of his brother and cousin, the Ridgen family contributed 184 to the team’s total.

One of the best innings of the day was played by G. Stone (Hororata). Caught on the boundary going for his century, Stone gave no chances in a flowing exhibition. The consistent R. Farrant made his third century of the season for Darfield, and his second in succession. For the opposition, South Malvern, O. Stuart had a good double, taking three wickets and topscoring. Scores:—

Greendale 319 (G. Rfdgen 109, F. Ridgen 43. K. Shipley 38, B. Ridgen 32; R. Morris 4/69, M. Clark 3/65); Kirwee 69/2 (G. Wright 34). Hororata 292 (G. Stone 96. D. McLeod 54, N. Oliver 52: D. Deans 5/89); Sheffield 130/0 (K. Howarth 74 not out, N. Wright 53 not out). Darfield 222/7 declared (R. Farrant 106, D. Arnold 47, G. Loe 35; C. Miliar 4/62, O. Stuart 3/64).
