There has been no Hawke Cup hangover for the Bay of Plenty men's cricket team.
The side, which lost the challenge trophy to Manawatu a little more than a week ago, fought back on Sunday to beat arch-rivals Hamilton on first innings for the second successive time.
The defending Fergus Hickey Rosebowl champions look to have turned their season around with three wins on the trot after only recording one win before Christmas.
The Bay took first use of the wicket on Saturday, but found going tough at times at Mount Maunganui's Bay Oval.
Tom MacRury weathered the early storm from the Hamilton bowlers and was rewarded with a half century, before Te Puke batsman Mitch McCann took control of the innings to leave the score at 223/6 at tea.
