CRICKET by Grant Miller HOROUTA will first push to make sure they qualify for Poverty Bay cricket’s DJ Barry Cup final and then they may have a crack at being the top qualifier. But they will need a compelling performance tomorrow to overtake High School Old Boys, who have a 13-point lead in the competition. Horouta would need a very good day against Landmark Homes OBR tomorrow to reel that in. OBR need an even better day if they are to make the final. They need to push to win the game outright, which is unlikely, but not impossible. OBR have a bowling attack capable of dismissing a team twice in one day, but Horouta are unlikely to capitulate when a spot in the final is theirs for the taking. Horouta captain David Situ said his team would be “gunning” for the top spot, but he indicated they wouldn’t risk all to get there. “We’ll have a strong side this week to give ourselves every chance of getting those 13 or 14 points,” he said. It would almost certainly need to be 14 points, because they’re behind HSOB on net run rate. If Horouta pick up five competition points, OBR cannot make the final. Situ said they would look to get that job done first. OBR captain Matt Cook is well aware his side are up against it.
