Chamberlain’s ton steers the way again
HARRY Chamberlain’s second
consecutive match-winning
century on Saturday has
given him and his Leeston-
Southbridge team a dream
start to the new country cricket
season.
In a Canterbury Country premier
one day competition clash
of the titans at Darfield Domain,
Chamberlain’s innings of 101 not
out, off just 83 balls, steered his
team to a tense two-wicket win
over rivals Darfield.
There were also victories for
Weedons, Cheviot, and Sefton
in round two in what is shaping
up to be a quality, hard-fought
season.
Leeston-Southbridge won the
toss and elected to bowl first – a
decision they were soon ruing
when Canterbury representatives
Zak Foulkes (89 off 108) and
Henry Shipley (37 off 40) were
cruising against the balanced,
disciplined bowling unit.
Darfield finished their 45 overs
on 211/7, confident that they
could defend the total on their
home patch.
And they soon had Leeston-
Southbridge reeling at 89/6,
before Chamberlain, hot off
an unbeaten century the week
before, teamed up with Dougald
Munro (30 off 37) for an ultimately
match-winning 99-run
seventh-wicket partnership.

There were still some tense
moments before the winning
runs were knocked off in the
40th over, however, with just two
wickets to spare.
Sefton secured their second
big win in as many matches with
a 93-run win over Peninsula-
Harbour in spite of their top
order failing to fire.
Batting first, at 49/4, it was
seasoned campaigner Matt
Laffey who came to the rescue,
caressing 85 runs off 113 balls to
help lift Sefton to 217. Akhil Pant
and David Neal claimed three
wickets apiece.
Micah Campbell was
destroyer-in-chief for Sefton,
taking the new ball and knocking
off the combined side’s top
order. Campbell finished with
match-best figures of 4/15, as the
competition newcomers struggled
with the bat for the second
week in a row, falling to be all
out in the 30th over for 124.
At Southbrook Park, on a
deceptively dicy-looking pitch,
Cheviot elected to bowl first
against the combined home side
representing Oxford-Rangiora-
Southbrook.
It was only the typicallydogged
innings of opener Calvin
Scott who showed any resistance
against the Magpies attack, with
Scott carrying his bat for an
unbeaten 42 off 99 balls.
No other batsman was able to
hang around with him and they
were rolled for just 103 in 38.3
overs, with the three Fitzpatrick
brothers, Tom, Johnny and
Harry, sharing seven wickets
between them.
Cheviot opener Ryan Ellis
quickly showed how few
demons there were in the newlyrefurbished
’Brook pitch by
smashing an unbeaten 61 off just
33 balls to complete the ninewicket
thrashing in just 13 overs.
Ohoka suffered another
heavy loss, this time a sevenwicket
defeat to Weedons who
rolled them for 111 before
Blake Coburn almost singlehandedly
knocked off the runs
by smashing 72 off just 52 balls,
including four sixes.
