Results v Manukau, November 3rd

North Harbour Black came up against two even Manukau sides without their top four A players, while we had four A boys out also.  Manukau is a strong District, we had a win and a loss.

A big thanks to Peter Schierhout and Amita Weerakoon for taking the teams on Sunday.

When we get starts we need to go on and get big scores.  When you get to 20, target getting 30, when you get 30, target getting 40.  Stay focused.

We also need to bat 50 overs....even if we had made the opposition field another 18 overs and we scored no more runs we wear them down.  Let's not make it easy for anyone.


Manukau White - 131/8
Jack Hart 7ov, 2-14

Good job boys in the field.  We fought hard here against a good side.

A win to Manukau White by two wickets.
