Cheviot and Leeston-Southbridge going head-to-head in country cricket final

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Cheviot and Leeston-Southbridge will battle it out for top honours in country cricket's showcase final at Mainpower Oval in Rangiora on Saturday.

Defending CRV Ambreed Country Premier One Day champions Leeston-Southbridge have endured a mixed season, suffering when their Canterbury Country players have been away on representative duties.

A repeat of last year's semi-final nail biter, where Leeston-Southbridge pipped Cheviot by eight runs, starts at Mainpower Oval in Rangiora at 11am on Saturday. Spectators welcome.
