Y.M.C.A.’S GREAT REPLY Something happened to the Gx*afton players on Saturday afternoon at Eden Park and they left the field after an hour and 35 minutes with the sad total of 73.

Elliott was a third bowler who had to be respected. Grafton gave a disappointing display and will need to play to form to get anywhere near Y.M.C.A.
