Senior cricket round up:
Burnside Premiers continued their match against Lancaster Park on Saturday. Play got underway after a brief delay due to the late-week rain, with LPW resuming from 197/3. Park scored 277/7 in their 60 overs. In reply, Burnside scored 128/8 before play was ended with LPW picking up first-innnings points. Player of the match was LPW’s Theo van Woerkom.
In their opening one-day game, the Premiers were hosted by Old Boys Collegians at Elmwood Park. It wasn’t a great day for the Prems, eventually going down by 5 wickets after being dismissed cheaply. You can review the scorecard on CricHQ.

BWCUCC Cricket Live Day 2016 Fundraiser
BWCUCC is proud to be associated with the Annual Cricket Live fundraiser CLD2016. To boost awareness of the day, we have set up a Givealittle campaign with a very modest target… but we still need your help to get there. The Cricket Live Foundation is a great cause, and with your small donation we can help make a huge difference in the lives of young cricketers living with far fewer opportunities than we take for granted in New Zealand. Follow this link to donate.

- Molly Stagg (16.06) – Junior
- Eliza McIntosh (15.58) – Junior
- Cam Hawkins (15.34)
- Liam Winn (15.21)
