Yesterday in fine weather Otago Country cricket week opened. North Otago was drawn against Southland and, batting first, made a good showing. Wain of Waitaki High School batted really well and Taiaroa again was in good form, while Cartwright scored his runs by sound and forceful cricket. Runs came at a fast pace.

Southland found the North Otago attack, spearheaded by Cartwright, troublesome, and Halloway, Thompson and Vear were the only batsmen to meet it with any assurance.
