Motueka Cricket Club - Second Grade

Lion Foundation Motueka Vs Waimea Toi Toi United Green 14/12/2019

Waimea Toi Toi United Green came to Motueka on Saturday and upon winning the toss asked the home team to bat first on a cracked Memorial Park pitch. It was a slow start for the Wekas who lost their first wicket for 33 in the 10th over. Things didn’t look much more promising at 61 for 3 at drinks, however the Hobbs Show was just starting and father Justin (54) and son Liam (41) put on a crucial 93-run partnership to get Motueka past 150. After that a few more wickets fell cheaply but Ranbir Singh (33) and Fletcher Fairweather (18) combined to push Motueka’s score to 213 all out in the 40th over. Tate Burns (4 for 50 off 8 overs) and Ricky Carey (3 for 32 off 3.5 overs) took most of the wickets for Toi Toi.

Motueka’s opening bowlers put the visitors under pressure from the start of their innings, particularly debutant Matt Tingey (2 for 7 off 4 overs) who extracted plenty of bounce and had them 10 for 2 in the fifth over. Opener Jared Anderson (46) still remained however and he formed the backbone of Toi Toi’s first assault on the target but fell with the score at 95 for 5 in the 22nd over.

Cade Armstrong (31) and Blake Armstrong (29) formed a 43-run partnership and the outcome of the game hung in the balance but Mark Church (3 for 26 off 4 overs) enticed some edges to remove Cade and the next two batsmen.

All Toi Toi’s dismissals so far were catches and a couple of run-outs wrapped up their innings at 170 all out in the 34th over, 43 runs short of Motueka’s total.

This was Lion Foundation Motueka’s toughest game so far and they expect to be even more challenged when they face Athletic College Old Boys at Memorial Park next
