Bay of Plenty Development had an impressive win over the Northland Development XI at Blake Park on Sunday.
Bay of Plenty won the toss against Northland in their ND Development round-two clash and got off to a flyer on the very hard and fast-looking wicket.
After just seven overs, Stephen Crossan and Cam Neal had taken the Bay side to 60 without loss. However the two openers departed in quick succession, with the next three batsmen failing to make an impression.
Christian MacDonald and Sean Davey steadied the ship. MacDonald went on to top score with a hard fought 60 with Davey contributing a solid 48. Gurwinder Singh chipped in with a handy 18 runs with the home side reaching 211/8.
Bay of Plenty Development coach Charles Williams said "we were happy with our total, but knew that we would have to start well with our bowling attack, as Northland always produce an exciting and talented batting line-up".
