WEEKLY WRAP OF WBOPCA SENIOR CRICKET 2 NOV
Week Three – WE 30 October 2021
A big shout out to all Western Bay teams, who all had match scores posted on the WBOPCA CriqHq website on Saturday evening. It makes it so much easier for the editor to arrive at his keyboard, to write up the previous day’s results and summary on Sunday morning, without facing the task of chasing results.
United Indians successfully defended the new Reserve Grade challenge prize of the Dom Warner Trophy, when they beat Katikati in a hard fought encounter. Just a reminder that the holder will put the challenge prize on the line each week of the regular season, in both home and away challenges.
