Eves Realty Greerton Give Their Supporters A Rollercoaster Ride Against New World Te Puke

Eves Realty Greerton gave their supporters a rollercoaster ride at Pemberton Park on Saturday (3 November 2018), before defeating New World Te Puke by 54 runs, in an encounter where less than half the allotted overs were used up. 

The home team won the toss and were in some trouble, with just thirty odd runs on the board, for the loss of four wickets. Skipper Shane Wineti steadied the ship before falling with 22 runs to his name. Batting at eight, Jared Tutty fought a rearguard action, which saw him produce his team’s best batting performance of 24 runs. 

Tutty produced a handy ninth wicket stand with Ben Lind, however three ducks and a further two batsmen removed for just a couple of runs apiece, saw Greerton bowled out for just 120 in the twenty-eighth over. Brody Gilroy was the star of the Te Puke bowling attack, grabbing four top and middle order bowling scalps at a cost of 28 runs.

Greerton Captain Shane Wineti said “Right from the start, the pitch had a lot in it for the bowlers and we thought if we could get the Te Puke top order cheaply, we would win the game. Our bowlers produced the goods and we were delighted to wrap the game up with plenty of overs to spare”. 

Dan Price was the only Te Puke batsman to show any real defiance with a hard fought 24, as the visitors were bundled out for 66 in the twentieth over, which saw Greerton retain the Baker Cup (WBOP Challenge Trophy). All five Greerton bowlers had success with the ball, with new season recruit Henry Collier taking three wickets

Defending Baywide Cup Champions Element IMF Cadets, posted a big win over G M Painters Lake Taupo CC at the Tauranga Domain. Cadets set the Great Lake region side a big target, when they reached 245 for the loss of eight wickets. Openers Marcel Collett (47) and Fergus Lellman (37) set a solid platform, with Cadets captain Jono Boult coming in at three top scoring with 48 runs. Habib Malik was the best of the Taupo region side bowling attack with three wickets. 

Cadets banked a 138 run victory in their scorebook as the Taupo visitors were bowled out for 107. Kamal Bains grabbed three Lake Taupo wickets with Jono Boult returning 2/25.

Carrus Mount Maunganui, bounced back from a heart-breaking narrow loss to Greerton last week, to claim an easy eight wicket win over Bond & Co Tauranga Boys College at Tauranga Boys headquarters. Tauranga Boys elected to bat first and were removed for 128 with nine balls remaining in their turn at bat. 

Coming in when his side was 57/4, Niven Dovey played a patient innings as wickets fell at the other end, with 53 off 102 balls, in his team total of 128 all out. The Mount wickets were shared around with Tony Goodin, Nick Smith, Dale Swan and Dominic Crombie all taking two wickets apiece. 

The Mount opening pair led their team to eight wicket win. Ben Musgrave smacked 49 runs at a little better than a run a ball, with Peter Drysdale there when the end came in the 23rd over with an unbeaten 57. Tauranga Boys bowler James Gatenby took the two Mount wickets to fall in the match.
