New Zealand: Club Team's despair lifts

The Christchurch Press
26 October 1998



The Lancaster Park-Woolston Red cricket team which scored just 27 runs in its opening two matches this season, has suddenly found the middle of the bat.

But its 145 runs on Saturday were not enough to beat the LPW Gold side in the seventh-grade match.

LPW Red captain Richard Derham led from the front, scoring 53 not out - but his side fell short of its target by 108 runs.

The LPW Red team scored 19 and eight in its other two games this season.

Derham told his team before Saturday's match not to let the earlier two innings prey on their minds and ``do the basics well''.
