Played in Christchurch on 22 March, this year's STAC Exchange did not return good results for TBHS.
The 1st XI Cricket fixture doubled as a Canterbury regional Gillette Cup semi-final. St Andrew's batted first and started strongly on a good batting wicket, passing 100 only one wicket down. A determined bowling effort led by captain Taine Cordell-Hull (5-29) saw TBHS fight back to restrict STAC to 221 all out in the 50th over.
In reply, TBHS led by Flynn Linton 52 and Toby Clemett 35 got themselves into a winning position. Unfortunately, the run outs of key batsmen Linton and Caleb Donaldson were very costly as Timaru’s middle and lower order struggled under pressure to be dismissed in the 45th over for 186, 36 runs short of their target.
The Colts game was one-sided as TBHS struggled batting first on a green wicket to be dismissed for 110. St Andrew's cruised to victory only 3 wickets down.
In the Golf played at the Harewood course, a very strong St Andrew's quartet with a combined handicap of only four were too good for TBHS. They recorded three wins while Damon Johnson did well to halve the 4th match for Timaru.
