Hamilton Boys High School are on course for their third successive Super Eight Cricket title after a devastating bowling display against Tauranga Boys College yesterday.

Hamilton took first use of the bat at Tauranga Boys' headquarters at Nicholson Field, and a half-century apiece from Matti Clarke and Jacob Gibson got the Waikato outfit away to a good start, who went on to post 220/9.

But as the home side looked to respond at the crease, Hamilton turned the screw in what was a brutal bowling attack, dismissing Tauranga Boys for just 54.

Brayden Gaylor did some severe damage with the ball, taking four wickets for only six runs.

Hamilton Boys' opponents in the final today will be Palmerston North Boys High School, who will also take an unbeaten 2015 Super Eight record into the title decider.

The Manawatu side also cruised into the final with a ten-wicket victory over Hastings Boys High.

Hastings mustered 149, with Xavier Hill, batting at nine, top-scoring with a hard fought 44.

The Hawkes Bay side were in real trouble at 102/9, but the last wicket partnership of 47 runs giving them some respectability.

Palmerston North, however, eased their way to victory without losing a wicket. Whetu Na Ngagara smashed 72 from 85 balls, while Charles Parker posted an unbeaten 51 with victory coming in the 28th over.

Elsewhere, Tauranga Boys College 2nd XI posted 160/9 with New Plymouth Boys chasing down their target for the loss of four wickets, while Napier Boys beat Gisborne Boys.
