The Barrett & Partners Under 17 Club Championship match between Ifira versus Mele Bulls on Saturday 23rd June 2012 created a lot of excitement. Having won the toss, Ifira decided to bat. Ifira team open their innings with opening batsman Naling Nipiko and Clement Tommy. Unfortunately after a great setup by Mele Bulls’s bowler Malon Tastuki, Naling was dismissed early from a pull shot. Although Ifira lost their early first wicket they recovered as next batsman Jonnah Todah joined Clement and both created a partnership of 40 runs.

Dear Editor,

The story in Saturday’s paper about the plight of the 3,000 private workers on minimum wage reminded me of the radical suggestion made a few months ago by Foreign Affairs minister Alfred Carlot who proposed the idea that parliament be reduced from 52 to 35 MP’s.

Get the Prosecution not to attend the court for your “wrong” deed and have the State Law to advice the Finance to pay in the claim. Or start from whichever P, F, S patter and you will end up successfully – easy!
