ND crushed Wellington in the first innings of their match, with Darkins 9-32 driving Wellington to a miserable 72 in reply to ND's first innings167.

Canterbury 369-7 dec (T Latham 93, J Richards 77, C McConchie 52, J Presland 2-32, J Morris 2-69; Auckland 22-3 (C Cachopa 11 no, E Nuttall 1-5)Having won the toss and elected to bat, Canterbury amassed the highest score of the tournament with 369 for 7 declared.
