A Baywide Cup Top Of The Table Clash To Take Place At The Tauranga Domain

A top of the table Baywide Cup clash at the Tauranga Domain this Saturday (1 December), between Eves Realty Greerton and Element IMF Cadets, should propel the winner into the Baywide competition title decider on the 15th December 2018.

Greerton will put their unbeaten Baywide Cup record on the line when they pay a visit to the to their archrivals headquarters. However, Cadets are sure to be up for the challenge of knocking their long time rivals of their perch at the top of the standings.

Cadets, who are the defending Baywide Cup champions, will turn to a trio of experienced all-rounders to put them in the box seat, with just one round of the round-robin competition remaining.

Sean Davey, skipper Jono Boult and Gurwinder Singh, all sit on prominent positions on both the Baywide batting and bowling lists. The three Cadets players can all dig deep into their reservoirs of grit and determination when called upon.

Greerton new season recruit Neil Hendrie has made his team mates sit up and take notice, with his batting proficiency, since joining the black and yellow brigade. Hendrie sits in second place on the Baywide Cup batting staked with 150 runs and a solid average of 50.33. 

Bond & Co Tauranga Boys College and Bayleys Central Indians, will be fighting for a spot in the top four playoffs, when they meet at Nicholson Field. Both sides sit on the cusp of fourth place on the point’s ladder, with battle to the wire likely to take place at Tauranga Boys College headquarters.

Carrus Mount Maunganui will be heavily favoured to dispatch GM Painters Lake Taupo CC, who are anchored at the bottom of the standings. However Mount Maunganui could face a determined battle for the win points on offer, with the side from the Great Lake region putting up plenty of resistance in their last couple of outings.
