On a very warm and humid day at Mandeville the South Canterbury Yr 5&6 Rep side found the going tough when taking on Canterbury Country who batted first scoring 196-7 off their 40 overs.

In reply Fletcher Rhodes continued his great form top-scoring with 27 but the only other batsmen to make double figures were Nic Webb with 12 and opener Scott Robertson who batted through to be 10 not out as South Canterbury were dismissed for 109 in the 30th over.
