Curtis Cherrington scored a fantastic 145 and took two wickets to propel Kamo into a strong position in their Oxford Trust two-day cricket match against Maungakaramea.
Cherrington built on his good knock of 83 against Onerahi-Central last weekend to lead the run-scoring on Saturday, as Kamo reached 309 in their
first innings, with another in-form batsman, Ben Hyde, contributing 92 to the total.
Only Cody Andrews, who took six wickets, had any luck with the ball for Maungakaramea. Any relief felt by the visitors to the Kamo Rec when they finally chipped out Kamo, quickly turned to dismay when their top order failed to establish themselves.
Cherrington took two for 15 off eight overs and any hope of a middle-order fightback now looks highly unlikely when play resumes next Saturday, with Maungakaramea reeling at 66/5.
City took the advantage in their match at Kensington Park against Onerahi-Central after Marko Annadale got them off to a good start by taking five wickets as OC were bowled out for 172.
