12 Wednesday March 27 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Defensive game fails to prevent loss • By Jacob Page SELWYN UNITED will look to rediscover their attacking mojo at home against FC Twenty11 this Saturday after a 2-0 loss to Cashmere Technical in the Mainland Premier League. After beating Nomads 6-4 in the opening round a fortnight ago, it was the attacking third which failed to fire for Chris Brown’s side. “A couple of Chris Brown errors in defence led to us conceding goals but it was the forward third that just didn’t click for us,” he said. “We usually have one game like that a season so hopefully it’s out of the way now.” With the second round game against Ferrymead Bays cancelled, Brown said the defensive plans were used against Cashmere Technical a week later. “I thought defensively we were far more organised and worked hard. “THe boys were high on confidence after the first win . . . but I think they can stand up and be happy with how they played against Tech but also we know we missed a chance to get some points.” Brown praised his two centre backs, Jack Allatt and Jayden Booth for their commitment in defence. Leeston-Southbridge take title A MASTERFUL innings by Rupert Young steered Leeston-Southbridge to the country cricket one day title on Saturday. Leeston-Southbridge’s opening batsman Young read the conditions perfectly at Rangiora’s showpiece ground, Mainpower Oval in making a composed unbeaten 81 runs, earning him man-of-the-match honours in the 79-run win over Southbrook. The heavy loss continued Southbrook’s woeful record in championship games, with still just the 2011/12 title in its clubrooms trophy cabinet. Southbrook won the toss and elected to bowl first in the much-anticipated CRV Ambreed Country Premier One Day Competition final. Brook seamer Alex Simpson got rid of Canterbury A batsman Joel Harden cheaply before Sam Ermerins – who enjoyed the best season of his career – ripped through the combined side’s quality top order. Ermerins claimed the key scalps of Harry and Ben Chamberlain along with ex-Dutch international Tim Gruijters, before Darryn Boyle knocked over Ben Donkers, reducing them to a precarious 72/5. Meanwhile, Young was batting serenely at the other end, and soon had much-needed help from Liam O’Sullivan who SPORT made a handy 49 off 68 balls. Canterbury Country batsman Young – younger brother of Central Stags star and fringe Blackcap William Young – carried his bat throughout the Leeston-Southbridge innings, making 81 not out off 114 balls to lift his team to a solid 225/7 in their 45 overs. At the change of innings, the ’Brook, with its powerful top order, were comfortable to be chasing 226 runs to win the title. But they got off to a horror start when Matt Brine was involved in a mix-up with fellow opener and skipper Tom Rodden and he was run out third ball of the innings. It was the first of three runouts in the Southbrook innings on a day where Leeston- Southbridge’s fielding was of the highest order. The match appeared to hinge on the partnership of Canterbury opening batsman Jack Boyle and Canterbury l egend Shanan Stewart, who came together with the score at 1/2. After a cautious beginning, SELWYN TIMES SUCCESS: Leeston- Southbridge were crowned Canterbury Country Premier one day champions at Mainpower Oval, Rangiora, on Saturday. the pair were soon finding the gaps and the boundary with regularity. Boyle was dismissed for 31 when he shuffled down the pitch to Donkers and was bowled off his pads, bringing Simpson to the wicket. Simpson and Stewart put on 68 runs before they fell in quick succession to the off-spin of Gruijters. The ’Brook then collapsed spectacularly to be all out for 146 in the 38 th over, sparking jubilant scenes as Leeston- Southbridge celebrated a welldeserved trophy. •More sport, pages 15, 17, 20, 21 & 23.
