Our Prems used their “get out of jail” card to escape with a 1 run win with the game going right down to the very last ball.

Papatoetoe were unlucky but, really, it was our largess that allowed them every chance of winning – 18 wides and two 5s from overthrows! Exceedingly disappointing - just fortunate that the visitors failed, in the end, to take advantage!

Wonderful game though! Tim McIntosh showed, yet again, his class, Ben Horne looked in excellent touch. Ben Rainger got a start and came back kicking himself after being . But, from there, only the Skipper reached double figures – just.

Papatoetoe got a sound start, stuttered in the 70s and then Money and Anand added 91 and looked to have taken the game. New lad Mitch McCann, from Te Puke, came on with his offies. Twenty three needed off 24 ball – Mitch then dismissed Money and then had Anand stumped. 17 still needed off 17 – Rav back on and Sohal left, another catch to Dave. Tense – 13 now required off 7 balls. A single - last over 12 off 6. Mitch – offies – first ball, Aujla drives, superb lofted hit over long off – 6! Equation alters drastically, 6 off 5. All quiet under the marquee – more scrambling, Aujla is caught behind the stumps by Ben. Another smite and Billy Sanger spills a catch at long on but saves a bounday – now 4 from 2. A single – 3 from 1 – all or nothing - another swipe, a mix of bat, pads, ball somewhere but not far, the batsmen scamper, Ben gathers the ball but holds it rather than attempt a run out and it is all over. Parnell just 1 run ahead and a most fortuitous winner!

Ben and Tim – a sound start but the middle slipped and it was not a good day in the field. But well done on holding nerves when it came to the crunch!

8 October Parnell Premier Reserves vs. Kumeu at Shore Road Reserve 2a. KUMEU 86 Henry Glogau 4/20 (9) PARNELL 125/2 (25) Matt Vercoe-Curtis 21 rtd, Blue Hamell 28 rtd, Simon Wood 15 rtd, James Mulvey 15*, Henry Glogau 15* RESULT: PARNELL WON BY 8

CAPTAIN TOM LANDRIGAN REPORTING: Lost the toss and we were put in the field. Kumeu collapsed being all out for 86. Standout performer was clearly Henry Glogau, a leg spinner who has come to us from the Karori CC, who had the outstanding figures of 9 overs, 3 maidens, 4 wickets for 20 runs. Henry also secured a run out. The remaining wickets were shared between the other bowlers apart from a second run out by Razin. Due to the low score posted by Kumeu, I decided to retire most of our batsmen in order to give them all time in the middle. It was decided once we passed Kumeu's score that we would continue until the 25 over mark. However the team was impressive in all facets of the game - even though the batters didn't have the opportunity they would have wanted. Very sadly, Razin’s Dad has died and Razin, last Monday evening, returned to India to be with his folks. Our sympathy and condolences go to Razin and his family.

Henry Glogau, ex Karori CC - leggies, 9 overs 3 maidens, 20 runs 4 wickets!

Blue Hamel and Elliot Jaffe with the ball – and Umpires Glynn Hammond & Jayath Batawangala NOTE – UMPIRES! Having deemed the the Premier game on 1a. could not start until 1.30pm, due to the likelihood of damage being done to the grass block beside it, the Umpires with nothing else to do, went over to the practice game on 2a. This Reserves’ practice game, with no grass block, got underway right on time at 11. Umpires Glynn Hammond and Jayath Batuwangala offered their services which were accepted with alacrity. Great that Jayath and Glynn made themselves available – a perfect example of the Spirit of Cricket in action!

8 October Parnell Thirds vs. Kumeu at Huapei Domain

PARNELL 271/9 (40) Ryan Turner 65*, Gavin Poole 57 KUMEU 80 (34) RESULT: WIN TO PARNELL CAMERON ROPE, SKIPPER, REPORTS: On the first season game for the 3rds saw us winning the toss and electing to bat on a wet pitch and outfield. The boundaries were youth size at best but the outfield was long. Off to a fast start but losing wickets regularly saw Parnell 80 for 4. Gavin and Ryan Turner then put on a fantastic 100 run partnership seeing them both retire on 57 to give others a chance. Some late hitting saw Parnell post a total of 271 for 9 off 40. R Turner 65*, Gavin 57 Kumeu were never in the game and superb bowling from 8 of our 9 bowling spear head attack saw Kumeu out for a measly 80 for 13 wickets off 34 overs. Lots of players taking wickets and at a low strike rate. Comprehensive victory and great performances from the Conradie brothers, Ryan, Gavin, Simon Walker, Elliot Humphries to name a few. Depth is amazing at the club at the moment.

[Editor’s Notes: 1. Welcome back Ropey, longstanding Parnell player/member – scorer of 6388 runs for Parnell & a good many wickets and the man who , a few seasons back, was pictured in the ACA Annual Report making an impressively vigorous appeal:

History doesn’t record if Ropey’s appeal was successful!

2. Interesting to note that whilst he used 9 bowlers (in taking 13 wickets), Ropey kept up his sleeve the Thirds’ most successful bowler in 2015/16. Gavin Poole (33 wickets at 10.55) was held in reserve – which emphasises the dominance of the Parnell side.

Also, please note your diaries: DAY – Sat. 17 December

Luncheon to Celebrate “Merv Wallace Day” To be held in the Mike Simpson Lounge, 32 Shore Road, Remuera, Saturday, 17 December 2016 – gather from 11.00am for Noon. Merv, if he had not died 9 years ago, would be celebrating his 100th birthday on 19 December 2016. Merv joined Parnell CC as a 15 year old in the 1932-33 season. Almost immediately he became a mainstay of our batting, quickly attained selection for Auckland and then NZ. For NZ he toured England in 1937, when he topped the batting averages (1641 at 41.02), and again in 1949 when he scored 970 in May and, overall, 1722 at 49.20. Merv captained NZ vs. South Africa in ‘53/54. In March 1956 he was Coach to the NZ team that won it’s first Test after 26 unsuccessful years. All that is nothing compared to his contribution to the Parnell CC – for 60+ years as player, and then Patron – Merv was superb. A brilliant coach and mentor to the young, we treasure our memories of Merv and take this opportunity to celebrate his “Ton” with Vonnie, Adele and Greg and other members of the Wallace family.

VSL - Over 60s, Queensland Tour & News

Peter McDermott has just confirmed VSL’s sub-sponsorship for another year and the Club is hugely grateful. Such financial assistance is of enormous help to us, particularly as it enables us to provide our wonderful coaching team.

Dianne McDermott asks for help – a couple of people have pulled out of VSL’s Queensland’s Tour because of work commitments. Should be a great trip & the itinerary and details are:

There are two price structures because of the type of resort accommodation in northern Queensland and we didn’t want to “assume” what everyone wanted.

The “expensive” package is water view; beach front and executive rooms; The “moderate” package is guest rooms, rainforest and de luxe rooms according to the property descriptions.

Itinerary for Queensland Tour: Friday 4th November: Fly into Brisbane and on to Cairns. Accommodation: Double Tree by Hilton Cairns Plaza Saturday 5th November: At leisure in Cairns Sunday 6th November: Fixture in Cairns Monday 7th November: Drive to Mission Beach (120 minutes). Accommodation: Castaways Resort Tuesday 8th November: Fixture at Innisfail Wednesday 9th November: At leisure at Mission Beach Thursday 10th November: Fixture in Tully Friday 11th November: Drive to Townsville (180 minutes). Accommodation: Ville Resort. Saturday 12th November: At leisure in Townsville Sunday 13th November: Fixture in Townsville Monday 14th November: At leisure in Townsville Tuesday 15th November: Fly to Brisbane and home

Inclusions – Accommodation (full bed and breakfast); rental cars; cricket match costs; playing shirts and caps. Not included – airfares and meals other than those provided by hosts. Prices – “Expensive” twin share or double – AUD2,595.00 players / AUD2,295.00 non-players; “Moderate” twin share or double – AUD2,295.00 players / AUD2,095.00 non-players.

We have a great group of the old core and I really think this will be the last one I organise. Grant Baker has taken over the Australian Over 60’s mantel and when the team voted on it in Hobart last year – the more competitive guys have headed that way, and the more social the Queensland way. Such great memories from so many fantastic times with such lovely people.

With kindest regards, Dianne.
