Motueka to defend lead

Motueka remain at home as they look to maintain their narrow three-point lead in round three of the Car Company Nelson two-day senior cricket competition tomorrow.

Motueka will host Car Company Stoke-Nayland at Memorial Park with two full days of cricket hopefully in store after two previously rain-affected rounds.

Sprig and Fern WTTU are also unbeaten after sharing the points in their opening round clash with Waimea College.

WTTU head to Victory Square tomorrow to take on a Wakatu side that have secured the competition's only outright win after last weekend's manufactured four-wicket win over Taylor Contracting Wanderers.

Wanderers return home to the Brightwater Domain, where they will host Waimea College.

Motueka lead the two-day competition after two first innings wins on 14 points, followed by Wakatu on 11, WTTU 10, Stoke-Nayland 8, Wanderers 5 and Waimea College 4.
