The Huntley School XI hung onto the Mather Wilson Challenge Cup with a five wicket win over Scots College in their traditional fixture, played in Wellington last week
Due to the remains of Cyclone Gita in the city, the match was reduced to 45 overs and played out in challenging weather conditions.
Winning the toss and putting Scots into bat bore early fruit as Matty Hocquard and Henry Blackley immediately put them under pressure.
Monty Sherriff ensured the pressure was not relinquished when he took the ball and Scots were 30-3 at drinks.
A sharp catch by Blackley and a direct hit run out from Angus Pearce highlighted a strong fielding display, and before long Huntley were in a commanding position with Scots reeling at 76-9.
