Cherrington's ton aids Kamo

A century by Curtis Cherrington helped Kamo to their first win since Christmas in the Northland Premier cricket competition.
Cherrington scored a 126 against an understrength Kaipara Flats and along with an unbeaten 85 by Jamie Millar helped propel Kamo to a good score of 255 in their 55 overs on the slow-paced Kenington Park wicket.
"It was a great knock on a slowish pitch and he had to work really hard for his runs early on but after he got in, he played all his shots and was a joy to watch," Kamo professional Dean Williams said.
Cherrington also starred with the ball, taking three wickets as Kaipara were dismissed for just 79 runs. Richard McPherson also took three wickets and Aaron McIntosh took two as the nine-strong Kaipara team's run chase crumbled.
Another youngster was the star of the show as Maungakaramea upset Onerahi-Central, also at Kensington Park on Saturday.
Aiden Miller scored an invaluable tailenders knock of 27 not out taking Maungakaramea to a defendable total of 178, before they were dismissed in the final over of the innings. Seamer Sean Doel was once again the pick of the OC bowlers, returning a fantastic 6/65 off 19 overs.
Onerahi-Central got off to a good start in their chase with an opening partnership of 47 between Craig Russell and Tom Keogh. Nic Breslin scored 19 and Chris Harris added 46 to put them in a position of control before Miller got going.
He took 4/21 off his 13 overs including Harris' wicket and turned the game on its ear. The OC middle and lower order fell apart, with the last six wickets falling for just 13 runs.
With four of their players, Ben Williams, Tom Herman, Ben Hyde and Henry Cooper, away playing for the Northland team against Counties, Boys High were always going to struggle against the competition leaders City.
City were sent in to bat first and reached 156/9 off their 55 overs, largely thanks to Richard Atkins' knock of 79. The English professional was the only batsman to master the difficult pitch and his innings swung the game City's way.
