The traditional summer inter-school season concluded in warm conditions in Timaru on Monday 4 March.
The 1st XI Cricket side continued their pleasing improvement with a 42 run win over their Waitaki counterparts. Batting first, Timaru were in early trouble at 38-4 against a demanding new ball attack. The middle and lower order worked hard to get Timaru through to a competitive 174, on a wearing wicket being used for a third day. Fletcher Rhodes with 35, Taine Cordell-Hull 31 and Caleb Donaldson 21 were the leading scorers for TBHS. In reply, Waitaki started strongly and scored quickly to pass 50 within the first 10 overs for the loss of only one wicket. However, accurate bowling and good fielding turned the match around and saw Waitaki dismissed for 132. Jayden Williams with 5-12 and Balkrishna Uniyal 4-9 starred with the ball for the locals.
In Tennis, the TBHS team of Josh Cameron, Aidan Watt, Tim Sheed and Connor Crotty went through both the singles and doubles matches unbeaten, to comprehensively win the tie 6-0.
The Senior Touch team also went through untroubled in all three games 13-0, 8-1 and 8-1 on the back of a good team performance.
The Volleyball match was an even encounter throughout with Waitaki eventually coming through 25-19, 25-14, 19-25, 22-25, 15-12 to win by three sets to two.
