Presidents:-

              A full days cricket was possible at Manawatu College as the rain did not arrive until late in the day and this enabled Manawatu-Foxton to complete an 8 wicket win against Weraroa on the artificial pitch at Manawatu College.

              Tom Thomas won the toss and asked Weraroa to bat first and after 45 overs Weraroa were 202 for 9 wickets. Marty O'Brien, Wayne Blackbourn, Jono Van Echten and Evan Smith all claimed 2 wickets each and Tony Tatana picked up the other wicket to fall. Haydon Bramwell taking 3 catches behind the stumps.

               Manawatu-Foxton started positively with Stacey Thomas and Haydon Bramwell scoring freely until Bramwell was struck in the face and retired hurt. Steven Thomas made a quick 7 and departed bowled. Stacey Thomas was joined by Tony Tatana playing in his 200th game for the club, only the sixth person in the history of the club to do so and only the 10th person to have played more than 200 innings for the club. Tatana batted well to stroke 1 six and 9 fours before being caught for 56 runs. Bramwell returned to the crease from his injury and quickly set about the bowling to be 66 not out with 9 fours. Stacey Thomas batting through the innings to be 43 not out at the close, 205 for 2 wickets after 32.3 overs.
