Baywide Cup Round Three

New World Te Puke Hold To Grab First Baywide Cup Win

New World Te Puke grabbed their first win of the Baywide Cup on Saturday (10 November 2018), when they held on against a determined Carrus Mount Maunganui bowling attack, to claim a three wicket win.

Te Puke bowler Cam Riley had the Mount Maunganui batsmen on the back foot from the start, removing the two Mount opening batsmen and danger-man Dan Smith, with the home side in trouble at 23 for the loss of four wickets. Riley came back to dismiss Tony Goodin for 12, as the Mount number ten was starting to hit out.

The Mount Maunganui innings concluded in the 44th over when they were bowled out for 117. Brody Gilroy and Mikaere Leef also bowled with enthusiasm taking two wickets apiece. The best of the Green and Gold batting attack was Dominic Crombie who finished with 28 runs in his side’s scorebook.

Te Puke openers Tai Bridgman-Raison (31) and Blair McKenzie (20) got the reply off to a strong start, with the first wicket falling at the 49 run mark. When Dan Price was caught and bowled by Peter Drysdale, Te Puke seemed well on the way to victory at 86/4. However Drysdale weaved some more magic with the ball, to take three further wickets at little cost, with the visitors to Blake Park eventually holding on with three wickets to spare. 

Eves Realty Greerton beat Bayleys Central Indians in a cliff-hanger at Smallbone Park in Rotorua, with victory coming with three balls to spare and the last two batsmen at the crease. Batting first Central Indians were removed for 161, with Jake Rowe (31) Cam Ingram (23) and Aaron Bennett (22) providing some solid defiance at the batting crease. Greerton’s Jared Tutty opened his sides bowling attack and finished with four wickets at a cost of 25 runs, with Dan Spencer Lee Watkins both taking a brace of wickets.

The first three Greerton batsmen contributed just six runs before Lee Watkins steadied the ship with 28 runs. Shane Wineti made a solid contribution to reach the thirties. It was left to Jared Tutty to take his team to a one wicket victory, as wickets fell at the other end, with an unbeaten neat half-century.

Bond & Co Tauranga Boys College has successful road-trip to Taupo defeating the home team. The Tauranga Boys young men were dismissed for 185, with four batsmen reaching the twenties and thirties. GM Painters Lake Taupo CC skipper Habib Malik took four wickets at a cost of 31 runs.

A solid middle order performance from Taupo’s Habib Malik (32) Jack Wiggins (25) and Louie Love-Parata (24) wasn’t enough, as they were restricted to 145/9, to give Tauranga Boys their first victory of the Baywide Cup courtesy of a 40 run win.
