The MIGHTY EASTS Premier Team have demolished Karori inside 2 days to win by 9 wickets and the Wilkinson Pearce Cup is back in our cupboard, where it has been for 11 of the last 12 years. The boys have brought the trophy back home AGAIN !!!!!!
After Day 1 you may have had some doubts with Karori 155-10 and Easts struggling at 78-6. However a slow but steady recovery on the 2nd day saw Easts achieve 137-10, only 18 behind on the 1st Innings.
Karori’s 2nd innings was then in complete disarray with some excellent bowling by Ricky Joseph taking 6-41 and Jamie Gibson 4-50. Lance Dry only used 2 of his bowlers in Karori’s 2nd innings and had them all out for 96 in 25.5 overs. What a turnaround - now it was up to Easts!!! 115 runs required to get for the win and Josh Brodie 56*, Ben Orton 38 and Josh Mclauchlan 17* got us home in 19.5 overs with some positive batting.
Congratulations to The MIGHTY EASTS Premier Team !!!!!
