KEY POINTS:
Auckland's schoolboy cricketers could do with some of the perfect conditions the Black Caps are experiencing in Bangladesh as the restart of their season was severely disrupted by anything but perfect cricket weather.
The rain-affected Westlake Boys v Auckland Grammar clash was restricted to just one innings each.
Batting first, WBHS reached 188 with Carl Cachopa quickly scoring 48. He received good support from Josh Tasman-Jones (40) but not much else as AGS quick Jimmy Neesham picked up 3-37.
Led by a half-century from Kirk Bunting and 37 from Hugo McChesney, AGS reached their target with four wickets in hand. Conor O'Malley was the best of the WBHS attack, claiming 3-21.
A five-wicket haul for Scott Thorburn played the key role in Sacred Heart's 21-run first innings win over Rangitoto.
Batting first, SHC managed only a modest 136 but that proved enough - only Darren Brown (51) offered any resistance as Thorburn ripped their innings apart as Rangitoto were dismissed for just 115 in another game hit by the rain.
St Kentigern held the upper hand in their match against Macleans.
Macleans were skittled for 76 as Jordan Drinkall and Trent Cooper bagged three wickets each.
Led by outstanding unbeaten innings from Jonathan Hickey (120no) and Luke Glen (50no), St Kentigern then piled on 226/2 declared before sending Macleans back in. By stumps they were 33/1 and left facing a long, hard day's play if they are to salvage anything on the second day of this 1A two-day championship clash.
In 1A two-day plate matches, King's beat Kelston Boys by seven runs in a match played as a one-day, 50-over affair and Mt Albert Grammar took first innings points from Takapuna Grammar with Tom Guy scoring 50 for MAGS and bowlers Tim Duncraft (4-15 for TGS) and Darren Gray (4-27 for MAGS) showing out with the ball.
