Cricket

Byron Bay third-grade won their first game of the summer after 550 runs were scored, including three centuries.
After winning the toss Byron elected to bat, playing at Kingsford Smith North.
They were 1/22 when the partnership of G Wallis and L Clayton began and 2/207 when it was over.
Wallis was bowled on 111.
Clayton batted till the end of the innings and was not out on 115.
Ballina replied strongly, and with nine overs remaining were still in attack mode, but needed almost 100 more runs as wickets began to fall.
The innings was spearheaded by C Earl who finished unbeaten on 104, with good support from N Grundy (23) and D Anson (23).
Ballina finished with 7/251 after their 39 overs.

Youth crime is increasing – what to do?
