NZ SHLCUP : Round 8, 11 Jan 94
Central Districts v Auckland, Waikenae Park, Kapiti. Jan 11.

Central joined Otago on its early morning journey to  Wellington,
and  then  had to endure a further bus trip to the seaside resort
of Waikenae on the Kapiti Coast, for that town's first ever Shell
Cup Match. Like Otago it was severely handicapped for this round,
and like Otago it was easily beaten.

There was little evidence of the debacle to come as the  in  form
opening  pair of Ingham and McRae put on 47 for the first wicket.
However Vaughan and Steve Brown destroyed the middle order with 3
wickets  each.  Vaughan, the in form skipper and former internat-
ional, had the outstanding figures of 3-8 in his 10 overs.  Auck-
land  were  in  no  great hurry, but never looked in any trouble.
The innings was anchored by the Yorkshireman Pamment, who  scored
51  not  out as Auckland cruised to 124-5, recording their second
consecutive win and keeping themselves in with a chance of taking
the fourth semi final spot.
