OUTRIGHT WIN

BIG SCORE BY OLD BOYS Mainly as a result of a vigorous, carefree display for 181, not out, by their captain, A. W. Roberts, High School Old Boys took their score from 166 for five wickets to 293 for seven wickets before declaring the first innings closed in the match against Kaikorai at Logan Park. Roberts added 83 to his previous week|s total and, although not chanceless his innings was a delight to watch. He hit 23 4’s and a 6. Kaikorai’s second innings realised only 155 runs, leaving Old Boys the winners by an innings and 36 runs. I. Watt batted almost right through the innings and compiled 88 in a fighting knock which included 11 4’s. Stores:— Kaikorai First innings 112 Second Innings L. West, c Mills, b G-oves 15 L.
