Central Districts Trounced By Canterbury

Canterbury scored a nine-wicket victory over Central Districts in their Plunket Shield cricket match at Trafalgar Park. Highlights of the match were Richard Hadlee's hat trick for Canterbury; C. Bull's unbeaten 115 for Canterbury, and a fine 85 for Central Districts by Mike Shrimpton, in their first innings. Canterbury scored 432/6 declared and 1/5, and Central Districts scored 247 and 189.

R. Ellis sweeps the ball to the boundary in his 51-run stand for Central Districts' first innings. The Canterbury fieldsman is R. J. Hadlee and the wicketkeeper is B. P. ISherwood

Howzatt!!! There's no hiding the confidence in this appeal by Hadlee, and Canterbury skipper G. T. Dowling. The batsman on his way back to the dressing room is Nelson and Central Districts player Ken Wadsworth, who was caught by Brian Hastings off M. L. Ryan, for a duck. Wadsworth scored a dashing 56 in the second innings
