Southland Exchange Results

DJG —

This year the exchange was played in Invercargill at Southland Boys' High grounds. Both teams competed well on the first day of the exchange with both teams posting competitive totals with the bat. However, in both games Southland got first innings leads and some poor 2nd innings batting displays by our teams resulted in outright losses in both games.

Juniors - Shirley BHS 162/10 [ Josh Mcilraith 29, Will Sanford 28, Anaru Hibbs 25] and 108/10 [Josh Mcilraith 41*, Cooper Hemingway 36] lost to Southland Boys 229/10 [William Sandford 3/20] and 170/8 declared [Jamie Newitt-Isaks 2/6, Liam Stocker 2/12, Michael Johnston 2/21]

1st XI – Shirley Boys' 194/10 [Doug Bongartz 83, Mitch Gilmore 35] and 60/10 lost to Southland Boys 223/8 declared [John Henri Turner 5/36] and 33/1
