PAPAMOA UPSET CADETS AT THE TAURANGA DOMAIN

Posted: Monday, 7 December 2020

There was quiet satisfaction in the Papamoa premier team ranks, after they had lowered the colours of Baywide heavyweights Element IMF Cadets, at Cadets home base at the Tauranga Domain on Saturday (5 December 2020).

Papamoa, who were the new boys on the block at the start of current Baywide season, had expectations of little more than continually improving each week and being competitive against all of the other eight teams, in their debut season in the top echelon.  On Saturday, they exceeded their initial goals in spades after defeating the multiple Baywide champions, with the victory propelling the team to their third successive win.

The Papamoa bowlers worked together to remove their opponents for a gettable 158. Guy Wilkins and Ashish Dhameliya took three wickets apiece, while Marcel Collett was the best of the Cadets batsmen top scoring with 33 runs.

Papamoa made a good start, before losing their first wicket with 48 runs on the board. The Cadets bowlers then grabbed the momentum to take five wickets for 25 runs. Paul Inglis (27no) combined with Reece Shelton (24) and Guy Wilkins (20) to put on solid lower order partnerships, with the visitors squeezing home with eight balls and one wicket to spare.

Bond & Co Maunganui closed the gap on competition leaders Eves Realty Greerton, who sat out the bye. The current Bay of Plenty Cup titleholders were in sizzling form, in reaching 343 for the loss of five wickets, against Craigs Investment Partners Geyser. Long-serving Mount all-rounder Peter Drysdale extended his list of club centuries to twelve, belting 124, which included fourteen 4's and one six. Niven Dovey posted 93 runs in the scorebook with Dominic Crombie chipping in with a half century.

Geyser skipper Cody Fell was the best of his sides batsmen with a gritty 73 runs, as his team were removed for 158, to give Mount Maunganui a very big 185 run win. Craig Baldry took three wickets at a cost of 41 runs with veteran Tony Goodin also getting into the action with two Geyser wickets.

Flying Mullett Te Puke's encounter with Generation Homes Lake Taupo was mainly one way traffic, with the visitors taking home an eight wicket win, after bowling the hosts out for 85. Roger Urbahn was the best of the Taupo batsmen with 22 runs, with Bay of Plenty top-order representative batsman Stephen Crossan, hitting 37 runs for the victors.

Bayleys Central Indians, had successful visit to Nicholson Field in Tauranga City when they dispatched Holland Beckett Law Tauranga Boys College, by 64 runs. Nandeera Nawela top scored with 41 in the combined sides 183/9. Tauranga Boys bowler Riley Brady got his name up in lights with four wickets. Jason Spice batting at nine, top scored with 27 runs as Tauranga Boys were removed for 119. Central Indians skipper Stephen Nicholls led the way taking four wickets with Andrew Gibbs returning 2/20.
