Regimental Cricket

The Seniors were defeated by Kia Toa in the first innings and the Juniors, after a hard tussle, were defeated by three runs in the first innings. Both games were enjoyed by our boys, being played in a- true sporting spirit. We hope to have a practice ground for you soon, boys, so that the standard of cricket will go up in the Regiment. The following are the results:— REGIMENT SENIORS (First Innings) Stevens, b Downes 11 Thorne, c and b Shailer 9 Guthrie, c and b Shailer 0 Clifford, c and b McNair ' 5 Wright, A., c and b Downes 0 Kelly, c and b Mullins 2 Campbell, c and b Mullins 0 Schwass, b Mullins 1 McLean, b Mullins 9 Wright, b Mullins 5 Winks, not out ............ 1 Extras H Total - ....... 57 Bowling O.

Six were caught out I I This is due to mistiming. II Stevens, the 6th boy, has: proved tha I he is a good' bat, who will 1: improve a 6 the season goes on. i Guthrie, the sth boy, showed how h 3 could tie up the batsmen with his bow - ing. He is a good all-rounder. II Clifford is showing thi>t 117 has som

' good cricket in him if he would only 1 step' out. 1 S.M. Winks, of the 4t>, has been skipper and has a hard job on hit ' hands not knowing his men, and be- ' sides making some mistakes, has made ■ some shrewd moves. I Kelly, of the sth, has proved him--6 self behind the wickets as has been ■ seen by the low figures of byes. ’■ Juniors . I Kaye, of sth, has proved himself ; ' useful as an all-rounder, especially his ' bowling, keeping good length and the 7 1 batsmen quiet. I; Murphy of sth, has showed himself J as a batsman of good cilibre, who car ) | face up to any bowling, and as a change 5 i bowler is very good. 31 Hansen and Quinlan of 4th, shou I that they are capable of big things, anc will bear watching for the future. Bishop, of the L.A.D., is another boy worth watching, a good all-rounder and capable of good cricket. j j The following will represent, the r i Regiment on Saturday:— I Seniors.
