Confounding all predictions, one game of WBOPCA Reserve Grade cricket was completed yesterday .
But that didn't help Geyser City's attempts to qualify for the WBOPCA Championship competition, the lack of play in Rotorua meaning they were unable to play for the win that may have given them the chance of securing a spot in the upper tier of the post-pool play competition.
The only game to take place saw Te Puke travel to the Eastern Bay of Plenty to provide Whakatane United with their first defeat of the WBOPCA Reserve Championship qualifying competition.
The visitors took first use of the batting crease and were bowled out for 203. Big-hitting Te Puke batsmen Lance Staiger led the way, top scoring with 75 runs. Whakatane United were removed for 182, to hand Te Puke a 21-run victory.
Lance Staiger backed up his batting performance to take four wickets, with Te Puke Reserve stalwart Justin Scott returning figures of three wickets for 31 runs. The Whakatane United defeat, means Lake Taupo CC finish the championship qualifying competition as the only unbeaten side.
