Domain as the home sidegot the points,
whiletherewere also winsfor competition
rivals Leeston­Southbridge,Weedonsand
Cheviotinthe CRV AmbreedCountry

Oxford­Rangiora batted first and made
267/6in45overs, thankslargely to aswashbuckling
innings fromLukeWaghorn.
Waghorn clubbed Seftonfor 90 runsoff 47
balls, including five sixes and seven fours. He
was well supported by opener Calvin Scott
(54 runsoff 87 balls),LachieStove(46 off 55)
and Dave Fulton’sunbeaten 44 off 59.
Chasing the highscore, Sefton got off to a
perfect startwith McKenzie Smith (54 off 44)
and Chris Warner(70 off 78)compilinga
century opening stand.
Canterbury seam bowler FraserSheat,
batting at No. 4, then smashed 72 off 48 balls,
combining withMatt Laffey, who made an
unbeaten 64, in an unbroken 118­run
partnership to claim adominant eight­wicket
win with four overs to spare.
Southbrook falters
At Weedons Domain, Southbrook paceman
Jono Green baggedfive wicketsashis side
bowled out the homeside for just 171.
Former Canterbury wicketkeeper Paul
Ruggshowed he has still got the touch, topscoring
with an unbeaten 35.
Southbrook got off to asolid start in its
chase, and was sitting prettywith former
Black Cap Shanan Stewart and Jack Boyle,
returningfrom Canterbury duties and along
Super Smashcampaign, bothatthe crease.
But when they fellrelatively cheaply, in
quick succession, Southbrook’s hunt for just
its second win of the season faltered, and
eventually fell 15 runs short.
Hamish D’Arcy did the mostdamage with
the white ball, returning the fine figuresof
5/37.
Thumping
Cheviot thumped Lincolnonhome soil on
Saturday, thankstoabrilliant century from
Ted Whelan.
Whelan’stop­score of 136 off 124 ballslifted
the Magpies to 288 against Lincoln, despite a
six­wicket bag for Hugh Paterson.
Paterson also shone with the bat,falling
justshortofahalf­century, as did his brother
Arthur, but their teammates didn’t offer
muchsupportand felltoa105­run loss inside
35 overs.
Dominant display
At Darfield Domain, the home sidecouldn’t
takeadvantage of batting first, despite afine
45 fromopener Liam Foulkes.
Foulkesmade alonestand, with the only
other meaningfulcontribution being 24 from
CullenMoody.
As theyhave done all season,all of
Leeston­Southbridge’s bowlersperformed
well, withDougald Munro’s tidy mediumpacers
the pickofthe bunch, finishing with
2/16off his nine overs.
