Suburban leader beaten

Heathcote, Merivale-Papa-nui. Southern Districts, and Sumner all gained wins in the tenth round of the Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association’s senior competition on Saturday. The round consisted of 40-over matches.

The competition leader, Hornby, which won last week’s one-day knock-out final, succumbed to a determined Heathcote XI at • Heathcote Domain.

The second-placed Upper Riccarton also lost; it went down to Merivale-Papanui at Edgar Macintosh Park. Jim Knowles and a senior B player, Paul Stewardson, scored the bulk of the runs with 70 and 43 respectively. Chasing 157, Upper Riccarton was contained by the tight bowling of Ron Provan, Ken Stagg and Darryn Leigh, and dismissed for 126.

At Boon Hay Park, Hoon Hay was dismissed for a paltry 34 on a damp wicket. The tail-end batsman, Steve Baldwin, top scored with 10 not out. Sumner lost five early wickets before it safely reached its target. Southern Districts, which scored 139, had a comfortable win over New Brighton at Beckenham Park. The seasides were bundled out for 88. Three hat-tricks — to A. Tukaki (Hoon Hay, three D), Andrew Coffin (Hornby fourth D), and John Tapiata (Heathcote fourth C) — were achieved in the lower grades. The final round for two-day grades will be played' on March 21 and 22, and the one-day grades will end on March 21.
