Wednesday October 4 2023 Selwyn Times SPORT 29 All-time team a nod to golden era LINCOLN CRICKET Club’s alltime team was the high-point of 75th anniversary celebrations on Friday night. Wal Scott was named captain and No 1 in the batting order, while a special presentation was made to all-time player Eion Barclay who had the distinction of claiming all 10 wickets in an innings against Tai Tapu on October 26, 1968. Committee member Andrew Morris said Lincoln had come a long way since its debut competition match again Druids in 1947. “Lincoln enjoyed a golden period through the 70s and 80s, winning 12 of 14 Ellesmere competitions and numerous other titles. It was no surprise that players from that era dominated the all-time team selection.” The all-time in batting order: 1 Wal Scott (captain), 2 Bob Kerr, 3 Mike Allen, 4 Thomas Frey, 5 Greg Lewis, 6 Jeremy Benton, 7 Murray Page, 8 Wyn Jones, 9 Brent Lewis, 10 Dean Judson, 11 75TH ANNIVERSARY: Wal Scott (left) presenting a framed record to Eion Barclay for his ‘10-for’ against Tai Tapu in 1968. Attending all-time 11 selected players, top row: Thomas Frey (left), Jeremy Benton, Greg (son of the Late Wyn) Jones, Dean Judson, Brent Lewis. Front row: Eion Barclay, Murray Page, Wal Scott, Bob Kerr. Eion Barclay. Said Morris: “Another reason for the club to celebrate is the re-emergence of the Lincoln premier team. After being unable to field a team last season and combining with Diamond Harbour, the team through the efforts of new captain, Tom Cross, and his lieutenants are back and already have a pre-season win under their belt.” The competition starts this weekend; Lincoln has the bye. Club president Tony McKenzie said Friday was a great night. “It was a fantastic night, not only in celebrating the achievements and stories of players past, of which there were many, but also with several of our young premier team in attendance, to welcome in the future.” Southbridge finishes tour on top WIN: Southbridge beat Melrose 33- 21 on 4G turf to close out their international tour. Right – Many of the Southbridge tour group travelled to Paris for the day while in London. • By Jaime Cunningham SOUTHBRIDGE beat Scottish club Melrose 33-21 in a tight battle to end their United Kingdom tour with a 2-1 record. For the club’s rugby development manager Chris McMillan, the highlight of the tour was beating Melrose at the ‘greenyards’ – the place where rugby sevens was born. “The tour has been a great success, winning two from three, and getting a win in our last game versus Melrose was a great way to finish,” he said. “The real success of the tour was the bonds the whole tour group has made, which will be life-long.” The clash against Melrose was a special game for Southbridge, as eight players from the Scottish club had played for Southbridge in recent years. “Our connections go back over 10 years with Melrose,” McMillan said. “It was the first time for all our players playing on a 4G turf. The game was very fast and very physical and a fantastic game to watch, which kept the crowd on the edge of their seats all game.” However, Southbridge got out to a blitzing start. Hamish Maw, Adam Stone and Jone Taufaga all managed to dot down with Jack Johnston converting the three tries to see Southbridge go out to an early 21-0 lead. Melrose were able to fight back with a try of their own before wing Cowan Estall scored at the end of the first half. Despite two more tries to Melrose in the second half, lock Daniel Michael was able to put the game out of reach for the Scots, scoring in the latter stages of the match. The tour took two years of planning. McMillan hopes to run another one in the future. “I hope in the future we could have a tour like this every six years, if possible. “I think everyone . . . would agree this tour has been very special.” His advice to other clubs wanting to take a team outside of New Zealand was to start planning early. “It takes a lot of dedication and commitment to pull a tour like this off. “It is also important to have good connections with the clubs you are looking at playing against to make life easy.” McMillan said the accompanying team management was “extremely proud” of the efforts of the players and how they embraced the Barbarians theme. “A special thanks goes to all our supporters that joined us for the tour, of which we had around 40. I am sure they all enjoyed it very much and they certainly added a lot to the tour. “Finally I would like to thank all our sponsors that made this trip possible, without your support it would never had happened.” • For more pictures, videos and scores from Southbridge’s United Kingdom tour, check out www.facebook.com/ SouthbridgeRFC
