Ben Hyde was outstanding with both bat and ball for his Kamo side in a Whangarei junior A grade cricket match against Onerahi Green on Saturday.
Ben top-scored in both innings hitting 43 as Kamo made 114 in their first innings and was unbeaten on 34 as the side declared at 55 for five wickets in their second.
In reply Onerahi were dismissed for 63 with Ben the key destroyer taking three wickets for just four runs and, with both Ben and Jonathon Nagulesan right on target, Onerahi hit 57 in their second innings. Ben took two for eight while Jonathon was very tight, giving up just one run and taking three wickets.
Matthew Burns was a bright light for Onerahi taking two wickets for 12 runs. Despite a brilliant half-century by Strachan McLeod, City S struggled to make any inroads against a classy Onerahi-Central Chiefs.
Strachan hit 61 in City's second innings of 107 after the side made 98 for five on the first day. Tom Herman was the chief destroyer for Onerahi taking four for 12 and got support from Alex Tunstall, two for 16.
It was Bradley Kneebone and Henry Cooper to the fore, once again, leading Onerahi to the win with eight wickets in hand. Bradley hit 25 while Henry was left unbeaten on 23.
Maungakaramea with Ryan Olliff, 31 not out, and Aiden Miller, 27 retired, beat City G in the other A grade match.
Adri Thomas was the star of the B grade matches hitting an unbeaten 79 when City Blue beat City White by 82 runs.
