A brilliant century by Dutch international Nicola Payne steered St
Albans Blue to a win over previously unbeaten South Canterbury in the
senior women's club cricket competition.
Payne was in punishing form on Hagley Oval on Saturday as St Albans
Blue chased South Canterbury's 154. Coming to the crease after her
side had lost an early wicket, Payne added 87 for the second wicket
with Carrie Murdoch.
She posted her century off 118 balls, St Albans reaching the target
with three down.
Earlier, when South Canterbury had been dismissed for 154, 15-year
old medium-pacer Beth McNeil captured a five-wicket bag.
At Warren Park, competition leader Lancaster Park-Woolston lost to
Marist. Marist's spinners Catherine Campbell and Erin Kelly
restricted Lancaster Park to 129 after the combined side's openers
Debbie Hockley and Paula Flannery made a sound start with 59 for the
first wicket.
Park was well placed at 103 for three but the spinners quickly
wrapped up the innings, Kelly claiming four wickets.
Campbell played a major role with the bat in reply putting on 33 for
the first wicket with Delwyn Brownlee and 46 for the third wicket
with Andrea Heal. She scored 41 as Marist posted 130 for six.
A well-compiled half century from Sally Frahm and valuable runs from
the lower order enabled St Albans Gold to reach 178 against East
Christchurch-Shirley at Burwood Park.
Despite 65 from Jess Little and Anna Wilkins for the third wicket,
East fell short by losing wickets at vital times.

Lancaster Park-Woolston 129 (D Hockley 41, J Strachan 27; E Kelly
