Finally a hot summers day to play cricket at Petone Rec. The outfieeld was lightning fast and the wicket quite flat but it did appear to seam around. We lost the toss and Northern Park chose to bat.

The wickets were shared around , Rupa 3 , Mike Rennie 2 , Andrews 2 , Justin/Dave 1 each. Not sure what happened to Matt as he went for 45 off 5.
We were required to score at 5 an over and on this wicket it was achievable. We lost 4 of our top order for 5 runs. Despite this collapse we managed to score 181 all out in the 32 over. Northern Park bowled well , batters to score runs – Willie 68 , Rupa 39 , Will Trotter 19.
