Cricket P.B. Beat N.Z. Nomads
In an exciting match of first-class cricket played in ideal conditions at the Oval, Poverty Bay defeated the touring N.Z. Nomads team by two second innings wickets.
Hero of the game was the Poverty Bay captain, Eric Fisher, who was waking his last appearance for the Bay and who undoubtably saved the home side from a first innings defeat with his magnificent stand of 148 not out.
Opposing each other were two brothers, Peter and Hugh Barton, who both gave outstanding displays of bowling and batsmanship.
