A NGATEA MATCH. At Ngatea the club organised a practice match, Married v. Single, which resulted in a win for the married men largely on account of the singlq men’s team being without the services of a capable wicket-keeper. The extras totalled 16, and the double figure scorers were J. Gribble (20') and R. Oornthwaite, (15). For the single men R. McPherson made 19 and F. Nicol 17, with Boyne and Chappell dividing the wickets.
