Date-stamped : 20 Jan97 - 06:21 20 January 1997 Hockley Stars In Canty Win Over Auckland Debbie Hockley starred as the Canterbury women's cricket team retained the national title with a seven-wicket win over Auckland in the final of the limited overs tournament at Colin Maiden Park in Auckland yesterday. Hockley grabbed five wickets and hit an unbeaten half century to steer her side to victory. Auckland scored 13 runs off the first two overs, but the early introduction of Hockley brought about the downfall of Lossie Harford. Shelley Fruin and Emily Drumm moved the score through to 59 before Drumm hit the ball into the safe hands of Trudy Anderson at fine leg. Hockley took out the home side's middle order. She finished with five wickets for 18 runs and Nicola Payne two wickets for 13. Canterbury suffered an early blow in its quest for 101 for victory. Anderson and le Comber were both dismissed cheaply. Astle went for 12 with the score at 38. Payne drove the spinners down the ground and with Hockley hitting strongly through mid-wicket they reached the target in the 33rd over.
