In the 2nd innings Mark was contained to just 6 off 50 balls by Toole & Rance – great bowling & field placing. Mark then holed out to leggie Brad Schmulian (ex East Coast Bays) – one up to CD! Notable aspects of CD’s 1st innings: 1. George Worker opened and was last out for 53, a wonderful innings! 2. Kyle Jamieson’s hat trick (Bruce, Cleaver, Schmulian) – brilliant! And, in CD’s 2nd innings: Ollie, coming on for a 2nd spell and bowling to Black Cap Ross Taylor – 4, 4, 4 – all pulls to the leg boundary THEN, on this, the 4th BALL, Ross Taylor fell for the trap and holed out to Jamieson at mid wicket (right foreground).Superb work Ollie – tactical purchase of wicket!! Set 287 to win CD, at the end of Day 3 were 8 down and all seemed lost for them. Doug Bracewell disagreed and fought back marvelously. He lost Rance at 220 to be joined by Ray Toole. Together they added 41 – Bracewell on 102, very tense indeed – when, with the new ball due, Bracewell smote Solia and a diving Mark Chapman not only saved a certain 6 but held the catch. Game over – but what a game!! Bracewell’s 102 off 137 balls, 7x4s, 5x6s. A win to Auckland by 25 runs. Note the importance of the last wicket stands in this game: Auckland: 28 (Ferns & Pringle) & 33 (Somerville & Pringle) Central Districts: 12 (Worker & Toole) & 41 (Bracewell & Toole) With a winning margin of 25 it confirms that no. 11 is a very important position in the batting order!

Match Report 31 October from Chris Laycock: Not a good weather forecast for the first match of the season against Grafton at Shore Rd. Flash won the toss and gave Keith and I the nod to get the season underway. Keith holed out trying to get us off to a flier and Sam went early to a catch at gully more befitting a much younger grade of cricket. Flash and I were making good progress as the rain got heavier and eventually stopped the game. We mustered up close to 50 runs from the 7 or 8 overs we managed to squeeze in. It was good to get back into the whites and we’re looking forward to more cricket next week. [Rumour has it that a 6, by your Reporter (?), was hit off the last ball] No detais received from the One Day Grades or Sunday Grades CricHQ Training – Learn All About It Session With Jocelyn Goodger 6.00 - 7.00pm, Thursday, 12 November On Thursday the 12th of November between 6-7pm the Club will be hosting a CricHQ training session with Jocelyn Goodger- our first eleven scorer inside our PCC Clubroom. A great opportunity to learn how to use the CricHQ App, run a team and score matches. Everyone will be encouraged to score this season so learn from the expert in this fun, relaxed training session. Junior Coaches, Managers, Players, Parents, Grandparents...everyone is welcome! NOTE: Jocelyn, our Men’s Premier Scorer for the past 25 years, is vastly experienced. She has retired from scoring Internationals (Tests, ODIs and T20Is) and for the Aces which she did for many years. This is a great opportunity to learn the intricities of the CricHQ system – so essential for accurate recording and instant posting of scores so important today. Congratulations to our local schools- St Kentigern Boys’ School and Remuera Intermediate who won the Auckland Cricket Regional Finals of the National Primary School Cup and Shield Auckland Cricket reports: ST KENTIGERN AND REMUERA INTERMEDIATE ADVANCE IN CUP AND SHIELD On Thursday, St Kentigern Boys’ School and Remuera Intermediate won the Regional Finals of the National Primary School Cup and Shield, and with it a ticket to the National Tournament later this month. Cup Final | Boys St Kentigern played a confident final against King’s School, batting first and putting on a big total of 215/2. The top four players all retired with Harry McLeod (43* off 21), Marco Alpe (37* off 21) and Ollie Davies (32* off 20) leading the way. In reply, King’s School’s George Crawford (27) and Thomas Nelson (22*) showed their skills, but the total was a step too far as Ollie Davies (3-16) and Harry Waite (3-34) featured with the ball for St Kentigern. Shield Final | Girls Remuera Intermediate won a close final against Pt England School after a low-scoring match. It was a struggle with the bat for both sides as Elise Bollard (2-9) helped keep Pt England to 70/7. While Zamera Maeva (3/5) and Jane Manase (2-7) were near perfect with the ball for Pt England, a last-wicket partnership between Minnie Morton and Hayley Taylor was enough to get Remuera over the line and into the National Shield Tournament.
