Hutt Valley victorious at men’s NPC
Tuesday January 10th 2006

Hutt Valley has been crowned the New Zealand Community Trust Men’s National 
Provincial Cup champions today with a 6-0 victory in the final over 
Wellington.

In the final at Colquhoun Park, Palmerston North, Hutt Valley were always 
in command as they were the first to score and defensively pitcher Jeremy 
Manly was in control.

In an outstanding performance Manly pitched a shutout against Wellington 
not giving up a hit in the game. Wellington’s only runners in the game came 
from walks.

Hutt Valley hit the front in the final in their first at bat as they scored 
three runs with David Butler, Kango Teriu and Jeremy Manly all crossing 
home plate. The team from the Valley went further ahead in the second 
inning courtesy of a home run off the bat of Justin Karaitiana.

With Hutt Valley holding a four run advantage Wellington had no answers as 
they couldn’t get hold of the pitching of Manly. The new NZCT Black Sox 
pitcher Manly faced 25 batters giving up just one walk and no hits while 
taking 12 strikeouts.

Hutt Valley closed the game out in the fifth inning scoring another two 
runs when Corie Karaitiana and Justin Karaitiana both came home on a hit by 
David Butler.

While Manly was in control on the mound for Hutt Valley the same couldn’t 
be side for the Wellington pitchers.

Craig Gibson started the game on the mound for Wellington he faced 19 
batters giving up seven hits, four runs and three walks while taking one 
strikeout. Shane Doherty replaced Gibson in the fourth inning and he faced 
12 batters giving up four hits, two runs and one walk while taking one 
strikeout.

Hutt Valley’s victory today is the second time they have claimed the 
Provincial Cup title having finished on top in the inaugural season of the
