Five-Time Baywide Cup Champions Carrus Mount Maunganui Meet New World Te Puke

Five-time Baywide Cup champions Carrus Mount Maunganui, will look to use their home track advantage when they play New World Te Puke at Blake Park on Saturday (10 November 2018). 

Mount Maunganui is long in Baywide premier cricket experience, with skipper Dale Swan, Peter Drysdale, Ben Musgrave, Tony Goodin, Matt Golding, Chris Atkinson and Nick Smith in their ranks.

Two new recruits who have travelled along the Tauranga Boys College pathway are the future of the club. Wicketkeeper Ben Pomare is a steady pair of hands behind the stumps and a more than useful batsman, who was the top run-scorer for the Bay Development side last season. Fellow 2017/18 Development team bowler Dominic Crombie led the Development wickets tally and is a strike bowler of real promise.

Two Te Puke youngsters in Josh Earle and Cameron Riley are likely to open the Te Puke bowling attack and could really trouble the Mount top and middle order. A further pair of Te Puke young men in Iman Singh and Daniel Price, played for the Bay Development team in the 2017/18 season while still attending secondary school. 

GM Painters Lake Taupo CC is at home at Owen Delaney Park, when Bond & Co Tauranga Boys College pay a visit to the Great Lake region on Saturday. The two sides who currently sit winless at the bottom of the standings are likely to have a good scrap to bank the win points on offer.

Bayleys Central Indians made solid progress last season, to reach the playoffs of the long-time Bay of Plenty Cricket big prize of the Williams Cup, in the second half of last season. Standing in the way of a Central Indians home-town victory, is Eves Realty Greerton who have posted a winning one-day sequence, which stretches back to the start of the Williams Cup in early January of this year.
