Notes
--> Bay of Plenty first innings batting adds 1 run under
--> BG O'Neil retired hurt in the Midlands and Thames Valley first innings having scored 0 (team score 0/0)

---

O'Neil was struck on the hand by a delivery from Unka which resulted in a badly cut finger that forced him to retire hurt
MD Earl and KA Craig added 114 for the sixth wicket in the Bay of Plenty first innings
Rain and the fact that the covers were not put on the pitch after the first day meant that only 11 overs were bowled on the second day with more rain also interrupting play
The Combined team had 8 players from Thames Valley (Baigent, Cotter, Garrett, Johnston, O'Neil, Singh, Speechlay and Waugh) and 3 from Midlands (Chambers, Killick and Lewis)
This was a first round match in the Northern Districts DB Rosebowl tournament
Points: Bay of Plenty 3, Midlands and Thames Valley 3
