Many Cricket Tours
Easter, though it usually sees the commencement of the Rugby season, also witnesses the termination of cricket and other summer sports. Quite a number of cricket teams go on tour for a final, series of matches. This year Herb. McGirr, New Zealand and Wellington representative cricketer, took a fairly strong side to Taihape, where it met a team captained by Tom Lowry, New Zealand’s capable skipper for tho past few years. McGirr’s team included the veterans C. G. Wilson and Stan Brice, as well as Harry Foley and Denis Blundell, the latter an ex-Cam-bridge Blue. Lowry’s team consisted mostly of country players, none of them being able to stand up to the city bowlers, and had it not been for the 61 scored by Lowry in the first innings they would have suffered an ignominious defeat.
