Pearce Cup

      Also Absent :- Alex Treseder, Tim Boyer, Ben Bellamy

Yes the game is over and THE MIGHTY EASTS Premier Team have won the Pearce Cup for the 9th successive year.

First day was a day for wickets with (28) falling. Karori won the toss and elected to bat first. 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.

Karori’s 2nd innings was similar to their first and at stumps were (32-8). Lance Dry had (3-1).

Day 2 and Karori were dismissed for (70) - Lance Dry (3-21)Nathan Cameron (3-27) leaving Easts (27) runs to get for victory. Easts achieved this in losing just (2) wickets.

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!!
