King's 1st XI Cricket vs Waitaki Boys' in Oamaru

Michael Reggett —

Annual Interschool Fixture.

We were lucky enough on Monday to be able to play Waitaki Boys' in a 50 Over, One Day fixture under Covid restrictions in Oamaru.

Thanks to our awesome Sports Manager Dave Conrad who ensured we complied with the regulations so the fixture could be played. 

We also appreciate the hard work put in by the North Otago Cricket Old Boy Ethan ' Sparkie'  Booth, who ensured we played on a belter at Centennial Park.

King's won the toss and elected to bat first, they reached 99 without the loss of a wicket, after that however, we lost wickets at regular intervals and after 50 Overs ended on  9/187. Oram Gutsell 44, Reuben Potgieter 42, Max Davidson 27, Ben Webber 24, Jak Macdonald 17. 

Waitaki put up a great fight in reaching 130 all-out, Oram 3/28, Tyler McCleery 2/24, Luke Murray 2/27 & Captain Max Davidson 2/5 off 7 Overs.  

We would like to also acknowledge our Rector, Mr McIvor & Waitaki's Mr Paterson for their support to enable this Annual Fixture to be played.
