PHOTO: KAREN CASEY Selwyn teams fail to make twenty20 country final • By Jacob Page NO SELWYN team will be in the twenty20 Canterbury Country cricket final next month, The Canterbury Country twenty20 trophy is guaranteed to have a new home in North Canterbury instead. Oxford and Sefton will meet in the final on March 6 at Main- Power Oval after both earned key victories in the final round of games last Saturday. Oxford beat Cheviot by 18 runs to keep the top spot while Sefton beat Southbrook by 12 runs, Lincoln was the only Selwynbased team with a chance of making the final but their 40- run loss to Weedons saw them bow out. Weedons got meaningful contributions from all of their toporder with Charlie Robson (35) opener Todd Inness (31) leading them to 162 for seven. Lincoln’s run chase never gained any momentum and three for 16 from Jack Porter ensured a comfortable Weedons win. Defending champions Leeston-Southbridge were able to avoid finishing last after beating Darfield by 14 runs. Rupert Young’s 47 helped his team to 158 for eight which proved to be enough as three for 18 from David Neal helped restrict Darfield to 144 for nine in reply. The final round of the 45-over competition will be played on Saturday minus the Canterbury Country players who will be in Hamilton challenging for the Hawke Cup. Oxford, Cheviot, Leeston- Southbridge and Southbrook have qualified for the semi-finals but the finishing positions could be affected depending on the results. At the other end of the competition, Lincoln and Weedons are tied for the wooden spoon on 36 points with whoever finishes last facing the potential prospect of relegation from the top grade for next season. The final week of games will see high-flyers Oxford host Lincoln, who will need an upset to ensure their premier status for next season. Darfield welcome Weedons which is in the same position as Lincoln. Second-placed Cheviot will play Sefton and Leeston- Southbridge will travel to Southbrook eager to get a win after three straight losses. • By Jacob Page CANTERBURY Country’s last Hawke Cup-winning captain believes the key to success in this weekend’s challenge against Hamilton will come down to handling pressure. Andrew Robertson is the only Canterbury Country player to win the Hawke Cup three times during his representative tenure which spanned 15 years from 2002 to 2017. He won it in 2004/2005 against Mid-Canterbury, 2007/2008 against Taranaki and 2014/2015 against Manawatu. Canterbury Country last challenged for the symbol of New Zealand districts cricket two seasons ago when they came up short against Counties. On Friday they head to Hamilton looking to win it for the first time since March 1, 2015, when then captain Andrew Robertson lifted the Hawke Cup from Manawatu. “There is a definite lift in intensity for a challenge,” he said. “You work really hard to earn that right and your season is pretty much defined by three days of cricket.” First innings half centuries from Sam Chamberlain (74) and then player/coach Shanan Stewart (67) helped the challengers to 317 in their first innings. It was then, the seam combination of current Canterbury representative Will Williams and Lincoln’s Jeremy Benton who took nine for 86 to restrict Manawatu to just 178 which helped set-up the first innings victory. “We had a great mix of youth and experience in that team. Players such as Jack Boyle, Will HISTORY: The Canterbury Country Cricket team on March 1, 2015, after winning the Hawke Cup from Manawatu. (Right) – Andrew Robertson with the Hawke Cup in 2016. Williams and Kyle Jamieson were all part of it that season and have gone on to bigger and better things then you had experienced guys like Shanan Stewart, and myself.” Robertson said it was always a satisfying feeling to lift the Hawke Cup even if his last time with it ended after the biggest upset in the competition’s 110- year history. After a successful defence against North Otago, they lost it to Buller after Robertson needed 17 off the final over to keep the cup. While he hit the first two balls for a six and four, he was unable to produce another maximum off the last ball. “That one still hurts, I think about it most days to tell you the truth but Buller played well and hung on.” Robertson said the key was to realise a lot can happen in three days of cricket and swings in momentum were to be expected. “I just wish the guys all the best, they’ve had a great season and hopefully they can bring it home.” The match begins on Friday. • More sport, page 18 www.bigbrothersbigsisters.org.nz
