Halswell<br />

take lead<br />

in cricket<br />

HALSWELL WILL take a 45-run<br />

lead into day two of their match<br />

against Southern Districts on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Day one of the match, which<br />

was played at Halswell Domain on<br />

Saturday, saw Southern put in to bat<br />

first after Halswell won the toss.<br />

Halswell started well with the<br />

ball and had Southern 32/3 after<br />

17 overs before some good middle<br />

order partnerships saw Southern get<br />

to <strong>13</strong>5/6.<br />

However, bowler Geoff Barclay<br />

came back on to take late wickets,<br />

reducing Southern to 166/9 from<br />

their 50 overs. Barclay finished with<br />

figures of 5-39.<br />

Halswell were 30/2 after six overs<br />

before James Pearson joined opener<br />

Matt McClintock in the middle.<br />

These two batted well in a partnership<br />

worth 75 before Pearson was<br />

stumped for 39 off 30 balls and<br />

McClintock went out soon after for<br />

a patient 47.<br />

Leighton Johnston lifted the<br />

tempo with a nice 46 runs from 31<br />

balls.<br />

However, a collapse saw Halswell<br />

go from 170/4 to 214 all out from<br />

just 36 overs, leaving Southern 10<br />

minutes to bat until stumps. Johnston<br />

took a wicket on the last ball of<br />

the day to have Southern 3/1.<br />

FOR ALANA Dalzell, entering<br />

into the Ellesmere Women’s<br />

Open junior singles tournament<br />

was all about getting some<br />

bowls experience.<br />

The first-year bowler from<br />

Coalgate joined the Dunsandel<br />

Club where her father and<br />

brother play.<br />

Arriving at Akaroa on Saturday,<br />

she had not previously<br />

played a singles match but a loss<br />

in her first game was to be the<br />

only one of the day.<br />

Being up against players that<br />

have had four or five years’ experience<br />

never phased Dalzell as<br />

SPORTS<br />

INTO THE SURF: Springston School’s Ben Airey, in the<br />

green cap below, won the 10-year-old boys’ grade of the<br />

Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Schools Triathlon held<br />

recently at Pegasus. West Melton School’s Stacey Morgan<br />

(right) came second in the nine-year-old girls’ grade and<br />

Rolleston School’s Zoe McMeeken (far right) came second in<br />

the 11-year-old girls’ grade. PHOTOS: KATHRYN MEYERS<br />

New bowler makes strong start for Dunsandel<br />

she constantly kept drawing to<br />

the jack and making good shot<br />

decisions.<br />

With only three qualifiers out<br />

of the eight entrants, Sharheen<br />

Eaqub, who beat Dalzell 12-8 in<br />

round one, drew with Dalzell<br />

in the semi-final. But Dalzell<br />

played excellent draw bowls and<br />

Eaqub conceded an end short<br />

6-15.<br />

Effie Hallewell from the host<br />

club, Akaroa, had drawn the bye<br />

and waiting is never easy, but at<br />

four-all after five of <strong>13</strong> ends, the<br />

game was a great spectacle.<br />

Dalzell picked up a three<br />

on the sixth end to build<br />

confidence and won six of the<br />

remaining ends to win her<br />

first Ellesmere trophy, beating<br />

Hallewell 15-9.<br />

She won five games in a row<br />

on her way to winning the<br />

trophy and is a very talented<br />

bowler in the making.<br />

In the men’s junior singles,<br />

played at the Tai Tapu Club, the<br />

men also had only three qualifiers<br />

from the field of eight.<br />

Nick Alfeld from Lincoln<br />

drew the bye into the final,<br />

leaving Akaroa’s Don Walker to<br />

play Lincoln’s Colin Stevenson.<br />

Walker was too strong for Stevenson.<br />

In the final, Alfeld’s dedication<br />

to practice and coaching<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

showed his all-round strengths<br />

in the game and Walker conceded<br />

8-17 after <strong>13</strong> of the 15<br />

ends, making Alfeld this year’s<br />

junior champion.<br />

Ellesmere Cup’s final round<br />

saw the Lincoln 5 team,<br />

skipped by Lyndsey Withell,<br />

beat Lincoln 3 to win the ladies<br />

mid-week competition after<br />

dropping only one game out of<br />

the nine rounds.<br />

Withell was lucky to have a<br />

consistent team throughout the<br />

competition, only having to substitute<br />

twice. The team included<br />

Margie Watson, Bev Gregg,<br />

Eileen Bell and substitute Nancy<br />

Jessep.<br />
