Waikato Drew With Nelson

An exciting finish did not manage to produce a result when Waikato and Nelson met in a representative cricket match at Trafalgar Park recently. But it did produce some fine highlights which included a well-earned 91 by Nelson's Lawrie Reade and a fluent 90 by Nelson captain, Barry Hampton. Geoff Smith captured five wickets for Nelson.

Keen Observers during Nelson's first innings were president of the Nelson Cricket Association, Syd Guppy, internationals. Ken Wadsworth and Bevan Congdon (second from right) and Geoff Smith, right. Could not identify the gent in the centre
