Katikati moved to the cusp of the top four in the division one title race after demolishing Mount Maunganui on Saturday.

Batting first, Katikati veteran Matt Earl got his side away to a good start with 32 runs at the top of the order. Batting at six, Raghavendra Reddy anchored the middle order responses with his team’s top score of 34, as they posted a solid 174 at a cost of nine wickets.

Katikati had the Mount reply in strife from the start of their innings, with the first wicket falling without a run on the board. Flynn Warren ripped through the Mount batters to grab six wickets for just 11 runs. Warren received grand support from Blake Gilroy (3/24) as Mount Maunganui were bundled out for 35, with the third ball of the twelfth over.

Baaj Sports retained the Don Warner Challenge Trophy with a four wicket-win over Cadets, in a top-of-the-table encounter. Pāpāmoa beat Hawks by 56 runs while United Indians got past Tauranga Boys’ College.

The Classic Builders Division Three title race provided plenty of action with two batting milestones. Batting at three, Pāpāmoa’s David Babbage belted 120 not out from 89 balls to propel his side to 264 for four wickets, against Mount Maunganui.

Rob Inglis took four Mount middle-order wickets with Tony Biesiek getting right into the action with three wickets for just 7 runs. Mount Maunganui were removed for 96 in the thirty-first over, to give Papamoa a big win.

Albion cemented second place in first round title race, after cruising to the win points on offer, in their match-up with Tauranga Boys’ College Blue. Long-serving Albion batter, Matt Summerville, took control of the match with 118 at a strike rate of 126.88.

There would have been plenty of joy and happiness, in the Aquinas College team ranks, after they took out their first win of the forty-over competition season. The Aquinas students chased down Tauranga Boys’ College White total of 163/5, with six wickets to spare. Bernie Gardiner top scored with a gritty 59 runs.
