Nathan Palmer gave an elaborate exhibition of his batting prowess and the range of shots he possesses by striking 109 against Pohutukawa Coast at Te Puru Park on Saturday, 22nd January '11. His knock consisted of four sixes and six fours and he added 133 for the second wicket with skipper & opening batsman Rick Eastham who contributed a solid 43. Michael Gordon also came to the party with an unbeaten 45, containing two sixes & three fours, helping the United CC JT Tree Services Senior B's to a formidable score of 257 for 6 in their 45 overs.
Nathan would have preferred his century to end up as the major contribution in a winning cause, but it was not to be as the rain gods won the day after the downpour that started towards the end of United's innings took the form of heavy rain during the innings break & prevented any further play.
