A round-up of what our young Waitakians have been competing in over the last couple of weeks.

Timaru Boys' batted first completing the 40 overs with an impressive score of 206 for 9.
Lochie Mavor and Derick van Basten took two wickets each and Alex Wilson took 3 catches.
With the bat Waitaki were all out for 157 in the 30th over.
Eli Johnson was our top batter with 35 closely followed by Tarras Beardsmore on 32.
