Celtic and Star were the top qualifiers in their respective sections with two wins each on the first day of this season’s senior Twenty20 competition.
On Sunday 6th the semi-finals will see Celtic play Roncalli at MVHS and Star play Timaru at Aorangi Oval to determine the finalists who will play off at 3.00pm at Aorangi Oval.
Batting highlights on day one were led by Craig Davies who scored 114* off 67 deliveries and devastated the opening bowlers for Timaru with his first 50 coming off only 25 balls. He followed this up by taking 4-15 with the ball and then in Celtic’s second match scored 74 off 63 balls to lead the way to their second victory.
Ryan De Joux scored a fifty to help Roncalli beat Temuka while Jason Sew Hoy’s fifty for Waimate who were 38-7 at one stage was not enough to carry them home.
