The opening day – a one-day match against hosts Shore School – was lost by seven wickets, and this was followed by a 10-over match the next day against Canberra Grammar School.

The one-day match against King’s saw the opposition score an impressive 293, which College found too tough and fell short of the target. The last match was again against Canberra. Weather affected the two-day game, which eventually turned into two shortened limited overs matches. In the first, College made 172 for 8 and bowled Canberra out for 171, and then repeated the win in a 25 over match when College scored 149 for 9 and bowled the opposition out for 122. In this match William Hocquard scored 61. The team also had annual matches against Otago Boys’ High School and Whanganui Collegiate School this term. In the OBHS match, the visitors set a very large first innings which College could not match. In the Whanganui game, College set the hosts 235 for the win, with both teams closing in on victory when stumps were drawn with Whanganui on 213 for 8.
