Yes the game is over and the outstanding Easts Premier Team have won the Pearce Cup for the 9th successive year.

In their 1st innings Karori were all out for (67) with Ricky Joseph getting (6-14) and Nathan Cameron (4-22). Easts were (37-7) at one stage in their 1st innings but recovered somewhat and were all out for (112), a lead of (45). Josh McLauchlan opened the innings and was (31) not out at the end and captain Lance Dry made the highest score (44) runs.

What a terrific boost the boys got from seeing the mob of Club supporters who turned out on Friday and Saturday to cheer on the team! And the guys responded in the best possible way but comprehensively dicking the "pretenders" from Karori and putting the prized trophy away for another year!! A huge thank you to Suz and Stacey for organising the support and the pikelets, crackers and cheese and pate, and cake, not to mention numerous other bitties!! A big thanks also to Pykey, Josh Stevens and others for their very vocal support, which I have no doubt was instrumental in reducing the guys from the soggy suburb to quivering wrecks, unable to cope with the stresses and pressures from the Mighty Easts machine!!

I was particularly impressed by Pykey’s sideline rendition of the Rod Stewart classic - "I don’t want to talk about it, how we broke Karori’s heart, won’t you stay here just a little bit longer, won’t you listen to my heaaarrrrt, to my heaaarrrt............."!

I also loved the verse that goes - "I can tell by your eyes that you’ve probably been crying for ever"!

It was a truly moving experience and one that brought a tear to many an eye!!!

What a wonderful occasion - go the Mighty Easts - I’ve got a lazy tenner on the next one!!

Easts Premier Team qualify for 2010 Pearce Cup Final

DominonPost - 1 April 2010 Lance Dry said he was more relaxed than in previous years and piled the pressure on Karori. "The trophy is in Karori’s cabinet and we've got a chance to nick it back out," Dry said. "That's how we're approaching it, it is theirs to lose now."

Premier Men Competition Points Top 3
Karori - 140.51
Easts - 139.49
Naenae - 82.80

The Mighty Easts and Karori have both booked their Wellington club cricket Premier final berths with two full rounds remaining. Easts and Karori are virtually level pegging at the top of the table on 99.84 and 98.95 points respectively, both more than 35 points clear of nearest challenger Onslow and assured of meeting in the three-day season finale from 2-4 April.

Capital Teams Challenge for Cook Shield

Successful defences = 14

Cook Shield

There will be added spice to Wellington’s two-day club competition this summer with the return of the Cook Shield. The trophy, which was awarded for winning the Wellington’s mens senior championship for 70 years till 1995 but was discontinued when Wellington amalgamated with Hutt Valley, has been dusted off and given a new lease of life.

The competition will be run much like rugby’s Ranfurly Shield with clubs having to beat the holders outright over two days to win it.

As defending Pearce Cup two-day champions, Eastern Surburbs will hold the shield initially, with Taita getting the first challenge when the two teams clash at Fraser Park over the next two weekends - 29 Nov & 6 Dec 2008.

The trophy will be up for grabs for every match and the holders play, home or away.
