Patterson’s century<br />
puts Lincoln in<br />
the box seat<br />
SOLID DEFENCE: Arthur Patterson pushes the ball away in defence.<br />
AN UNBEATEN 121 from Arthur<br />
Patterson has put Lincoln firmly in the<br />
box seat in their two-day match against<br />
Oxford, which began at Lincoln Domain<br />
on Saturday.<br />
Lincoln declared at 232/4 after 55 overs,<br />
with Patterson ably supported by his<br />
brother, Hugh, who hit 56. The two spent<br />
more than an hour together in the middle<br />
before Hugh Patterson was removed.<br />
Oxford’s best bowler was Luke Waghorn,<br />
taking 2/70.<br />
In response, Oxford limped to 84/7 before<br />
declaring still <strong>14</strong>8 runs behind, in the<br />
hopes of taking some quick wickets late in<br />
the day. Hugh Patterson starred with the<br />
ball, taking 4/12.<br />
Lincoln batted for seven further overs<br />
and were 7/1 in their second innings at the<br />
close of play.<br />
•South Malvern were firmly on the back<br />
foot after batting first against Sefton and<br />
being bundled out for 121 in 35.3 overs.<br />
Sefton bowler Barry Cross ripped the<br />
top order apart taking five of the top six<br />
batsmen, finishing with 5/24 from eight<br />
overs. A club record partnership of 186 for<br />
the second wicket between Tim Harrison<br />
and Lance Taylor, eclipsing the <strong>14</strong>8 of<br />
Cory James and Nigel Granger in 2004,<br />
helped Sefton reply with a monstrous<br />
total. Taylor and Harrison both posted<br />
centuries. Sefton declared at the end of the<br />
day’s play at 347/5, after just 55 overs, leaving<br />
South Malvern 226 runs in arrears.<br />
•At Weedons, visitors Southbrook won<br />
the toss and chose to bat first on a flat<br />
track. But plans of a big score were soon<br />
erased as they were shot out for a measly<br />
80.<br />
In reply, Weedons racked up 250, with<br />
Kane Meyerhoff cracking a tonne, to put<br />
them in the box seat for an outright victory.<br />
At stumps, Southbrook were 74/2,<br />
with Tom Rodden on 37 not out and Darryn<br />
Boyle unbeaten on 15.<br />
•Greendale and Leeston-Southbridge are<br />
locked in a tight tussle, with the combined<br />
side sneaking first innings points.<br />
Greendale batted first and were all out<br />
for <strong>14</strong>8, with Blair Chapman again topscoring<br />
with 77. An unbeaten 65 by Tim<br />
Field helped Leeston-Southbridge steal<br />
first innings spoils, all out for <strong>14</strong>9.<br />
