KCC v University at
University won the Hazlette trophy
last season and returned
Karori won the toss and elected to
bat, and this proved to be the correct choice with KCC on 60 for 0 after ten
overs. Stephen Murdoch and Marc Ellison were batting superbly until Stove got
out in the only likely way, run out due to an injured hammy for a fine 41. Marc
went on to a well constructed 69, however Hamish Templeton was to out do
everyone. Hamish scored his maiden century (121 off about 109) for KCC and set
up a demanding score of 278 for 6 for University to chase. Hamishs century was
boisterously celebrated by his teammates and spectators alike, we hope he goes
on to many more.
In reply University were never
really in the chase despite some good resistance by Colin Owen who top scored
with 60. All of the bowlers chipped in with the pick being Jarred Sewel who is
starting to get back to top form and Sunnie Chan. A couple of well executed run
outs from Harry and Steve proved to be the final nail in the coffin, and the
chase ended on 209.
Man of the Match Hamish Templeton.
