Winning warm-up for Southland Hawke Cup team
Steve Davie - 14 November 2001
Otago's under-19 cricketers are in good heart after a stirring finish to their annual match with the Southland Hawke Cup team.
Batting first at Queen's Park in Invercargill, Otago squeezed through to 175, the inning ending in the 49th over. Best of the Otago batsmen was Michael Ross with 51. Dave McQueen took three for 22 for Southland.
Southland was in trouble early but a fine partnership between No 7 Kieran Lines, with 44, and No 8 Geoff Folster, 33, saw the home side take the honours off the first ball of the 50th over.
