The catch helped Ashburton College on their way to a omprehensive victory on day two of their two-day match against the Christchurch Boys’ High School (CBHS) Colts XI in the Canterbury Youth 1st XI Cup Two Day competition, at the Ashburton Domain.

On day one the weekend prior, the CBHS side batted first and were all out for just 32, with Tom Middleton taking 3/8 and Angus Jemmett taking 4/5.

Ashburton College then made 234/9, with Jemmett top-scoring with 71 and Middleton also chiming in with 50, and Isaac Bazley making 42.

CBHS had a massive job on their hands to chase down the Ashburton boys’ target, and it proved far too big, with the side all out for 98.

Liam Sullivan, Angus Spittal and Christian Thompson each captured two second innings wickets.

Spittal finished with the best figures of 2/8 off six overs.

This weekend the Ashburton College side begin their next two-day match, this time against the Shirley Boys’ High School 1st XI in Christchurch.
