Otago girl takes six for none in schoolgirls' match

Otago Blue player Claire Thompson was the star of the day at the Southern Zone's secondary schoolgirls' cricket tournament in Oamaru today.

Thompson returned the amazing figures of 6 for none off four overs, bowling against South Canterbury.

She took four wickets in one over, and captured all of her scalps single-handed - bowling five and having the other trapped leg before wicket.

Otago Blue scored 137 and Thompson's efforts ensured South Canterbury fell well short being dismissed for 87.

In today's other matches Otago Gold scored 78/5 in reply to Canterbury Country's 77, and Christchurch Red made no race of its game with Mid Canterbury scoring 126/1 chasing 125.
