Country cricket gears up for semis<br />
LEESTON-Southbridge have<br />
finished top of the country<br />
cricket premier competition, in<br />
spite of a disappointing loss at the<br />
weekend, and will play Cheviot<br />
in next week’s semi-final.<br />
Southbrook claimed second<br />
after thumping Darfield on<br />
Saturday. Darfield now face<br />
possible relegation from next<br />
season’s CRV Ambreed country<br />
premier one day competition.<br />
The ‘Brook will host rivals<br />
Oxford-Rangiora in the second<br />
v third semi-final after the combined<br />
side sealed their play-off<br />
berth with a hard-fought win<br />
over Weedons.<br />
At Pearson Park, Oxford, the<br />
home side were put in to bat by<br />
a Weedons side hoping to make<br />
early in-roads.<br />
But opener Jake Waghorn got<br />
Oxford-Rangiora off to a flying<br />
start, smashing 36 off 42 balls.<br />
Weedons fought back through<br />
the middle overs with some tight<br />
bowling from Lachie Stove and<br />
Brad Nightingale, before the<br />
game turned with two late-order<br />
knocks by Mark Murphy and<br />
Sam Fleming.<br />
Veteran off-spinner Murphy’s<br />
composed 43 off 60 balls was<br />
topped off by Fleming’s rollicking<br />
half-century off just 33 balls,<br />
which included four sixes.<br />
They helped Oxford-Rangiora<br />
to a commanding 227 all out in<br />
45 overs. Sandeep Singh picked<br />
up 4-34 off his nine overs.<br />

Weedons’ run chase was soon<br />
in trouble at 8/2 before Sam Wilson<br />
(62 off 88) and Stove (51 off<br />
90) gave them a sniff of victory<br />
and a semi-final spot.<br />
But when the batsmen fell<br />
in quick succession, the innings<br />
capitulated and a jubilant<br />
Oxford-Rangiora claimed a 32-<br />
run win to book a match-up with<br />
Southbrook on Saturday.<br />

inside 25 overs.<br />
A trim-looking Darryn Boyle<br />
conjured a five-wicket bag with<br />
his crafty medium-pacers, while<br />
Sam Ermerins took the prime<br />
scalp of country legend Robbie<br />
Frew for just nine runs.<br />
Matt Brine (44 off 54) and Tony<br />
Hancox (28 off 45) put on 68 runs<br />
for the opening wicket before ex-<br />
Black Cap Shanan Stewart (22 off<br />
26) finished the job off with 22.3<br />
overs to spare.<br />

And then we fell in love with them...<br />
The animals painted in this exhibition are from our<br />
farm. Booboo, the Highland cow, being the main<br />
subject, because of her sweet nature (and the fact<br />
that she is my favourite). From my experience as<br />
a beginner farmer and animal lover, I believe early<br />
influence on both human and animal can be similarly profound. However I am a realist regarding<br />
the consumption of animals. I don’t eat meat – so perhaps I have an unusual perspective.<br />
Booboo, eerily painted in her majestic beauty, surrounded and almost<br />
hidden by the reflective surface of the black mirror- like background, the<br />
viewer too is captured in the reflective surface, a comment on human<br />
impact on animals. This Plato quote comes to mind and challenges our<br />
thoughts…<br />
‘Is there something distinctive about humanity that tries to justify the<br />
idea that humans deserve moral status, but non - humans do not?’ -<br />
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-animal/<br />
Within this body of work I’m celebrating the beauty within every<br />
creature. Real moments captured are a reminder of an innocence<br />
untainted by society. In contrast to the black paintings are some<br />
pure white images of children, along with animals, and their<br />
imaginary adventures. This emphasises the preciousness of<br />
children and their innate connection with nature.<br />
