22 Wednesday December 18 2019 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Chamberlain stars for Leeston-Southbridge SPORT SELWYN TIMES • By Jacob Page LEESTON-Southbridge can relax over the festive break at the top of country cricket after a hard-fought close win over Lincoln at the weekend. Harry Chamberlain’s fine Country premier one-day season continued with a match-defining, run-a-ball 62 at Lincoln Domain on Saturday. Leeston-Southbridge’s first innings was dominant with 184 for nine in their allotted 45 overs. Chamberlain, who enjoyed a 500-run off-season playing in Darwin, was again in the game with the ball, grabbing key toporder wickets and helping reduce Lincoln to 34 for three in their chase. Middle-order batsman Liam Robinson gave Lincoln a sniff of victory, with a fine 51 off 89 balls. After he was dismissed, the tail wagged valiantly but the defending champions held their nerve to secure a 10-run win, as Lincoln stalled at 174 for nine after 45 overs. At Southbrook Park, the home side thumped Weedons by eight wickets to keep in touch with the competition leaders. Imposing new ball attack Sam Ermerins and Arafat Bhuiyan knocked off Weedons’ quality top-order before Darryn Boyle rattled through the middle order. Limping to 132 all out in 40 overs, it was never going to be enough and the ‘Brook coasted home, largely thanks to an impressive unbeaten 93 by Matt • By Jacob Page FOR THE second time in as many years, the Lincoln High School mixed touch team’s hopes for a national title were dashed by Howick College. The Auckland school prevailed in the final 12 months ago and triumphed 6-4 in the semi-final, at Rotorua’s Westbrook Park on Sunday. It was Lincoln High School’s STAR: Leeston-Southbridge’s Harry Chamberlain was impressive with both bat and ball in two fixtures for his club team over the weekend. Boyle, whose innings included 17 fours and two sixes, and came off just 65 balls. A mammoth innings of 165 from Rhys Mariu lifted Oxford- Rangiora to a superb 26-run win over Cheviot on Saturday. Mariu, fresh from being named in the 15-man New Zealand under-19 squad to compete in the Cricket World Cup 2020 in South Africa in January- February, was ruthless in demolishing the Magpies’ attack. Oxford-Rangiora made an imposing 279 for five in their 45 overs and would prove too many for Cheviot to chase, in spite of a brilliant 97 from Ben Hartland. Jake Waghorn ripped through Cheviot’s middle-order, snaring seven wickets and helping complete the strong victory. first loss in seven games during the tournament. Howick College went on to win back-to-back titles. Lincoln won all three games on day one convincingly, beating Palmerston North’s Awatapu College 11-4, Patea Area School 14-0 and Massey High School 9-3. Day two went in a similar fashion as they beat Orewa College 9-3, South Otago High School Sefton got back to winning ways with a complete team performance in beating Darfield by 37 runs. Eight batsmen in double figures, led by a quick-fire 40 from Canterbury paceman Fraser Sheat batting at number four, saw the Seals post 202 all out. Zak Foulkes (55 runs off 74 balls) and Tim Boyle (52 off 69) got the chase off to a flying start, hoisting Darfield to a commanding 115 for one in 24 overs. But when they both fell in quick succession, Darfield crumpled to be all out for 165, with Barry Cross the chief destroyer, claiming four for 27. The competition will resume with round nine on January 11. Leeston-Southbridge capped a busy weekend by winning their national club knockout twenty20 encounter against Pleasant Point by eight wickets at Mainpower Oval on Sunday. Leeston-Southbridge restricted Pleasant Point to 105 for nine from their 20 overs with wickets shared between Harry Chamberlain, Tim Gruijters and Sam Chamberlain, who each took two wickets. Harry then added an unbeaten 45 as they cruised to the target with 11 balls to spare. Leeston-Southbridge will play Lancaster Park on January 19 in the Canterbury final. Canterbury Country will host Nelson this weekend in their second Hawke Cup match of the season at Rangiora’s Mainpower Oval. Lincoln unable to recover from slow start 7-1 and Wanganui’s Cullinane College 8-6 with the team holding their nerve as the contest got close. Lincoln were unable to overcome a slow start in the first half to extract revenge from the loss 12 months prior. They did win the second half 3-1 but by that point, the South Island champions were too far behind to make the comeback they needed. COMMANDING: Rolleston-Killinchy No 1 Nathan McKenzie, seen here playing last month, won all three of his matches as his team beat Kirwee-Springston 10-6 in Canterbury Country premier tennis, on Saturday. Rolleston-Killinchy move up tennis ladder • By Jacob Page ROLLESTON-Killinchy moved to second on the Canterbury Country premier tennis ladder after a 10 matches to six win over Kirwee-Springston, on Saturday. West Melton will go into the Christmas break undefeated after four rounds as they swept aside Prebbleton-Lincoln 13 matches to three while Tai Tapu had to default to Fernside due to a lack of players, Ellesmere Tennis president, Jason McKenzie said he was surprised by the ease of West Melton’s win given how competitive Prebbleton-Lincoln had been during the second phase of the season. “It goes to show just how strong West Melton is this year,” he said. “Even with players away they still find ways to win,” he said. It was Rolleston-Killinchy’s women’s singles trio of Lyndsay Dick, Mel Williams and Marika Templeman which turned the contest in their team’s favour. With teammate Zoe Gilmore struggling with a calf issue, the trio won each of their singles game, after the men’s singles had been split 2-2. Rolleston-Killinchy’s men’s No 1 Nathan McKenzie also had a strong day, winning his singles encounter against Dave Ashton 9-0 and then also winning his doubles and mixed doubles encounter. West Melton’s No 1 Luke Tanner was away at the nationals in Auckland, but the competition favourites welcomed home Grayson Cullen. “Grayson has been over in America playing tennis on scholarship and is back for the Christmas break, McKenzie said. Cullen has been playing his tennis in Kentucky. “He’s a very handy player to call-in with Luke away, in many respects, West Melton lose nothing with him in the team.” He was able to play with younger brother Blake for the day. West Melton won all four men’s singles with Grayson adding a doubles and mixed doubles victory for good measure. The West Melton men did not lose a match all day as they underlined their title credentials for later in the season. The competition now has a break for the holiday period and will recommence on January 25 with round five. We’re for local SPoRT From Kaikoura, to Christchurch, to Ashburton, we have it covered
