Our CENTRAL HINDS are in action again this Saturday in the fourth round of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield against Northern Districts.

The Hinds are away to ND at Mount Maunganui's Bay Oval, longtime contributor KERRY TOMLINSON poised to play her 50th one-day cap match for the Hinds, and 149th List A match overall; and uncapped pace bowler JESS OGDEN again named in the squad for a potential debut tomorrow.

HANNAH ROWE is unavailable after her WHITE FERNS commitments while allrounder ASHTUTI KUMAR returns from the NZC Development tour of India and batter EMILY CUNNINGHAM returns from a calf injury.

The Hinds (on six points) opened their one-day season with a convincing six-wicket win over the Auckland Hearts at Pukekura Park, and sit just one point off the leading bunch of ND, Wellington Blaze and the Canterbury Magicians (all seven points) on a tight early season table heading into round four.

Said Central Hinds Head Coach JAMIE WATKINS, "Bay Oval is a special place to play and, although we haven't had the most success there historically, hopefully our good win in last season's Dream11 Super Smash match there has broken the mould.

"ROSEMARY MAIR had a great performance that day (her T20 career best 3-22) and we are all looking forward to another good challenge, and making Kerry's 50th for the Hinds a memorable one."
