Baywide Cup Round 4

Defending Baywide Cup titleholders Element IMF Cadets, can take a big step towards booking a berth in the Baywide Cup final in four weeks time, when they host Bayleys Central Indians at the Tauranga Domain on Saturday (17 November 2018).

Cadet’s premiers know all about what it takes to win the Baywide big prizes, having won the Williams Cup on ten occasions and the Baywide Cup three times, in the last three decades.

The promotion of promising secondary school players into the Cadets premier squad, has paid outstanding dividends, since Trent Boult played for Cadets while attending Otumoetai College.

Jacob Logan and Fergus Lellman are among the current crop of rising young secondary school stars. Logan bowls with genuine enthusiasm and sits third on the Baywide Cup bowling stakes, with seven wickets and best figures of 4/31. Cadets top order batsman Fergus Lellman, is another who appears destined for a bright cricket future. 

The Rotorua combined team, will bring plenty of experience when they pay a visit to the Tauranga Domain on the weekend. Captain Stephen Nicholls is enjoying a sterling season with the ball, having taken seven bowling scalps with best figures of five wickets at a cost of just 17 runs. 

Central Indians current overseas player, Jake Rowe, has a myriad of batting experience in both the northern and southern hemisphere and has a strike rate of 92.8 (per one hundred balls) alongside his name.

The winner of the New World Te Puke verses Bond & Co Tauranga Boys College clash at the Te Puke Domain, will be within striking distance of making the top two, who will fight out the title decider in four weeks time.

Last weekend Te Puke bowled Carrus Mount Maunganui out cheaply and then hung on for victory, while Tauranga Boys College defeated GM Painters Lake Taupo CC.

Eves Realty Greerton, will be heavily favoured to defeat the team from the Great Lake region at Pemberton Park, to keep their current Baywide Cup unbeaten record intact. However, they have had to survive two encounters with Mount Maunganui and Central Indians which went down to the wire, before they grabbed the win points on offer.
