Carisbrook-Dunedin 102/7 beat Kaikorai 101 by three
wickets
A bowling master class helped Carisbrook-Dunedin secure its
first win of the season in Dunedin senior cricket on
Saturday.
Carisbrook-Dunedin beat defending champion Kaikorai by three
wickets, after dismissing Kaikorai for just 101.
Batting first, Kaikorai had looked steady at 54 for two, but
after Brayden Lindsay took the wicket of opener Matt Hunter
(19), the team free-falled and lost its last eight wickets
for 47 runs.
Carisbrook bowler Matt Lobb was the standout with the ball,
taking wickets regularly to end with figures of three for 22
off his seven overs.
In reply, Carisbrook looked to have lost the opportunity for
its first win, after falling to 42 for six.
However, Tony McEntyre (35) and Anthony Sewell (22) combined
to bring the team home.
Green Island 267 beat Albion 102 by 165 runs
Green Island showed once again that it might be the top team
in senior cricket, with another dominant performance.
A slow start saw Green Island at 97 for two after 29.4 overs.
However, Scott Simpson (88) and Ben Patston combined for a
78-run partnership as the team pushed on in dominant fashion.
Patston hit four sixes in his 56 (31 balls), helping his side
score 170 runs off its final 20 overs.
After a dominant performance with the bat, Green Island
veteran Mark Joyce then put on one of the best bowling
performances all season to take five wickets and stifle the
Albion batsmen.
Joyce finished with figures of five for 25 off 6.3 overs, as
no Albion batsmen exceeded 20.
University-Grange 270 beat Taieri 182 by 88 runs
Michael Haddleton hit a powerful unbeaten 93 to help give
University-Grange a big total and comfortably beat Taieri on
Saturday.
Haddleton came in with his side at 60 for one and settled at
the crease to give Grange some much-needed stability.
Despite his side losing three wickets for five runs in the
middle of the innings, Jason Hynes (42) hit some big strokes
to help finish the innings off.
Logan Smart bowled well for Taieri, taking four wickets for
40 runs.
Taieri must have known it was not going to be its day, after
both openers fell for ducks.
Hynes bowled with great line and length to take four for 30
for University-Grange, with Jesse Simpson taking three for
38.
Taieri did get solid contributions from Corey Hart (52) and
Simon Cromarty (49), but it was not enough as it was
dismissed 88 runs short.
North East Valley had the bye.
