WEEDONS AND Sefton<br />
have seized the early<br />
initiative in the top-four<br />
section of the Canterbury<br />
Country premier one-day<br />
competition.<br />
Weedons defeated<br />
Leeston-Southbridge<br />
by three wickets in a<br />
tight match played<br />
in bowler-friendly<br />
conditions at Weedons<br />
Domain.<br />
Batting first, Leeston-<br />
Southbridge made a slow<br />
but steady start before<br />
Weedons’ Jonathan Green<br />
dismissed both William<br />
Macfarlane for 17 and<br />
Chris Beatson for a duck<br />
in quick succession to<br />
have the visitors at <strong>28</strong>/2.<br />
Opening batsman Liam<br />
O’Sullivan was the only<br />
batsman to make a healthy<br />
contribution, grinding<br />
out 39 from 101 deliveries<br />
before being bowled by<br />
Green.<br />
Leeston-Southbridge<br />
were bowled out for 119<br />
in the 38th over. Weedons<br />
were able to clean up the<br />
middle order and tail<br />
with relative ease. Brad<br />
Nightingale and Green<br />
were the best of the<br />
SPORTS<br />
Weedons take tight match<br />
bowlers, both claiming<br />
three wickets.<br />
Weedons’ run chase got<br />
off to a shaky start. They<br />
found themselves two<br />
wickets down for just 10<br />
runs early. Gareth Painter<br />
and Sam Wilson were able<br />
to steady the ship by combining<br />
for a third wicket<br />
partnership of 32.<br />
However, it was the<br />
lower order that fired to<br />
get Weedons over the<br />
line. Number 6 Shannon<br />
Dunnett and No 9 Kane<br />
Meyerhoff both scoring 23<br />
runs each to see their side<br />
reach the total in the 24th<br />
over.<br />
O’Sullivan continued<br />
an impressive day of work<br />
with three wickets to<br />
finish as the best Leeston-<br />
Southbridge bowler.<br />
The other top-four match<br />
RUNS: Liam<br />
O’Sullivan<br />
was the top<br />
scorer on<br />
Saturday with<br />
39.<br />
saw competition defending<br />
champions Sefton defeat<br />
defending newcomers Cheviot<br />
by eight wickets.<br />
Andrew Laffrey and<br />
Harley James both claimed<br />
three wickets for Sefton as<br />
Cheviot were all-out for<br />
just 75. Sefton reached the<br />
small total with ease in the<br />
27th over.<br />
