Tahuna Boys Cricket make it 2/2 in the NZC Cup.

The Boys cricket team headed down to Bayfield park to take on Fairfield and John Mcglashan in the first round of the NZC Cup on Tuesday.

Tahuna Vs Fairfield

Being sent out to bowl with a wet ball, Tahuna chipped away and finally found a breakthrough dismissing the Fairfield openers for 32 and 17. From there on, Max Sutherland (1-10) and Josh Crowley (1-7) took key wickets to keep the Fairfield Total at 112. 

The chase began well with Fergus Barron (34) and Jonty Smith (16) scoring quickly. Both openers fell with only 20 runs required for the win. Captain Max Sutherland and Isaac Smith completed the task and reached 114 in the 19th over. A close but great game!

Tahuna Vs John McGlashan B

Again, Tahuna were sent out to bowl first but this time in much more suitable conditions. Jonty Smith took the new ball and started his 4 overs with figures of 1-2. Max Sutherland then did the same in his first over. From here on John McGlashan could only muster up 9 runs for their total. A very fine spell of swing and spin bowling from the Tahuna Openers. Jonty Smith (4-5) and Max Sutherland (3-4).

Tahuna completed a successful day with 2 wins only needing 2.2 overs to chase down the 9 runs. (Fergus Barrons 6*, Josh Crowley 1*).

The team now advances to the next round of the competition.
