Ben Rae set the scene with a typically dashing half century and Jesse kept up the momentum. Through this, Flynn McGregor-Sumpter maintained stability at the other end – 96 for the 1st wicket with Ben and 140 when Jesse fell to Vyas, the 7th bowler used by Papatoetoe. Jesse, Andy and Brad – a feast of classic, and very powerful drives On it went, Andy kept the flow coming putting on 91 with Flynn. Flynn was stumped at 231, a hugely important innings, both for the side and for Flynn. With Ben Rainger out with a damaged shoulder for some time, Flynn has stepped up wonderfully. Then the Skipper – Brad really took the Papatoetoe attack apart. Andy had departed (at 250/4) but Ollie came in to play an ideal cameo. Brad and Ollie remained undefeated when the innings ended at 319/4. Then Ollie – first with the bat, then with the ball in partnership with Henry King Henry and Ollie struck immediately with wickets falling at 1 and 9, then two in the forties capped by three in the seventies. Josh had chipped in claiming the 7th wicket at 76. With Papatoetoe reeling, Ajula and Bhatti dug in, played some superb shots and added 88 before Aniket removed Bhatti. Ajula hung on but Henry returned and had him caught by the Skipper – 182/9 and Aniket tidied up in the 37th over. A very satisfying day after the frustrations of the previous week. Josh and Aniket gave great support and Giacomo had 4 over but without success Premier Mens’Grade T20 Championship Pool 2. Round 2. Wednesday, 12 December PARNELL vs GRAFTON UNITED at Shore Road Reserve 1. GRAFTON UNITED 132/8 (20) O Westbury 71 (61), O Pringle 2/20, J Fisher 2/20 PARNELL 136/4 (18.3) Ben Rae 55 (38), M Sneddon 2/14 RESULT: PARNELL WON BY 6 WICKETS Despite Grafton’s pro, Ollie Westbury, leading the way early, his dismissal at 109 saw a collapse and our bowlers contained well. However, 133 target was not easy in the deepening gloom. Overcast conditions meant no twilight but Ben Rae struck the ball superbly and cameos from Jesse, Andy, Ollie, Aniket and Brad the target was in sight when, DVD came to the crease and ended the game with one hit for 6. Note: Ollie Westbury – ex Shrewsbury School, England U19s & Worcestershire 2nd XI, had played two 1st Class games. Premier Women’s Grade – Prichard Cup (OD Championship 50/50) 8 December Round 5.

Skipper Steph. Olivia Lobb Emma Irwin Yasmin Kareem Isobel Mills Maddy Curran Two views of Renee Macmillan Samantha Brake-Howard Yasmin Kareem Shriya Naidu Maddy Curran Maddy Curran skittles Papatoetoe’s no. 11 and the game is won! Determined, even dogged batting by Parnell, with a very generous helping of extras (41 wides) allowed us to build up a very defendable total. No big score but Emma, Yasmin and other sticking around gave our bowlers a total to defend. And defend it they did – a tremendous achievement in winning their second game in succession. More wins are sure to follow! Men’s Premier Reserve Grade – One Day Major Championship 8 December Round 3. PARNELL vs NORTH SHORE at Orakei Domain 1... PARNELL 234/4 (50) Cam Gibbons 59, Will Ormiston 111*, Dean van Deventer 37 NORTH SHORE 191/10 (42.2) Simon Walker 2/45 (10), Razin Bharde 2/28 (10) RESULT: PARNELL WON BY 43 RUNS COACH, “VICAR” ROY GOODYEAR REPORTING: Good weather came at last to give us an uninterrupted day of Cricket. We won the toss and elected to bat An excellent opening partnership of 121 between Cam Gibbons (59) and Will Ormiston (111 not out) laid the foundation for a total of 234 for 4 wickets. The highlight of the innings was Will Ormiston's 111 not out, carrying his bat through the innings. Will was particularly strong down the wicket with excellent driving in the V, He was well supported upfront by Cam Gibbons as the two worked so well together, assisting each other in keeping focused on the job in hand. They faced some testing times with the North Shore attack not giving too much away. It was really good cricket from both sides. Dean van Deventer played a cameo, smashing a huge six in his total of 37 off 23 balls along with Keegan Russell chipping in with 10 off 10,all at a time when we looking to accelerate our innings 234 for 4 was our total off the allotted 50 overs In reply: North Shore looked to attack our bowling from the outset with their opener James O' Brien scoring 58. The wickets were shared around with; Keegan Russel 1 for 32 off 6 overs Simon Walker 2 for 45 off his 10 overs, he bowled really well on a wicket giving him little assistance Razin Bharde 2 for 28 off his 10 overs, he contained the batsmen and brought their run rate back significantly Sam Klippel 1 for 24 off his 4 overs Cam Gibbons 0 for 29 off 7 overs, bowling his "straight" off spinners helped with pegging back their run rate Last but not least, DVD came into the attack to finish off two balls off a Hugh Teesdale over when he was removed from the attack due to two full tosses being bowled, unintentionally of course. DVD then proceeded to take 3 wickets for 3,runs off the 13 balls he bowled. He bowled off spin, don't know how much it turned but it was definitely all "flight and guile" As a Premier player (who is on the injured list)!! I have to thank DVD for his approach to game and the side; adding advice and motivation to the lads, this attitude is what our club thrives on, thanks Dean. North Harbour ended up on 191 all out in 43rd over A good game, played in good spirit Congrats men. Women’s Premier Reserves – T20 Champs. 8 December Round 5. PARNELL vs WAITAKERE at Melville Park 5a PARNELL 139/3 (20) Kate Irwin 87* (69) WAITAKERE 99/8 (19.1) A Smith 3/8 (4) RESULT: PARNELL WON BY 40 RUNS A wonderful, unbeaten, innings of 87 by Kate Irwin, off just 69 balls, set the scene for this resounding win by Parnell. Only Ella Drumm reached double figures a well. Ella, no. 8, came in at 126/6 and her partnership of 34 with Emma was crucial in setting a winning total. Ella’s 13 off 8 balls was worth heaps more than the figures show. Waitakere responded with an opening stand of 38 but wickets fell regularly and a very well deserved win was the result.
