Waitangi Day saw the Presidents VII face off against the DR Racing VII on a nice sunny day at the club. Batting first the Presidents VII posted a competitive 166/4 off 20 overs. Top scorer was El Presidente Regan Johns top scoring with 70 no, a promising partnership between Regan and Allan Meikle was cruelly cut short by a tragic run out when Allan was on 20.
The DR Racing VII had some big hitters at the top of the order with Rolly and Glenda doing some damage however this good work was offset by a slow scoring 58 by Oscar Jenkins which saw the Presidents VII win in the last over due to some magnificent fielding and bowling. At this stage Oscar showed his Bernie Madoff accounting skills and claimed his team had already won a couple of overs previously and some end of match sledging was settled by the President declaring a super over for both teams with the lowest scoring batsmen to front up.
Once again magnificent bowling and fielding by the Presidents VII saw the right team win. Cricket was the winner on the day with about 20 dropped catches and a couple of run outs being the highlights.
