United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated News story


! WHAT A WEEKEND AHEAD, THE WEAPON IS TO BE UNLEASHED!

16 Nov 2011

This weekend will feature more than just the normal rounds of club cricket.

Not just for the fact that we have for the first time in our history three United teams playing at home (Drury Sports Complex).

Not also for the fact that our high flying United CC Buy Right Cars Senior A's are playing on the Number 1 Oval at the Complex.

Not even for the fact that the United CC J T Tree Services Senior B's are just a short distance down the Southern Motorway playing Tuakau.

No, the main feature of this weekend's cricket is to be found in the Reserve grade.
                               The !!Clash of the Clan's!!
United CC Harxin Corpn Crusaders v/s United CC Discount Panel and Paint Marauders go head to head at home for the first time this season.

Although neither side has covered themselves with glory so far this season never the less "Bragging rites are up for grabs" and of course ` THE WEAPON ` (trophy) is to be played for for the first time.

Rumour has got back to yours truly (THE PAW) that both teams' senior leadership groups are in intense selection and tactical planning over this week to try and eek out any advantage they can.

Question:
Will Sir Tim "the Brave Heart" Edmonds make his way back from `the selection wilderness`(playing for the Crusaders) and regain his place back in the Marauders??

Question:
Will Captain Shane " the wanderlust " O'Neill, making his long-awaited return, bring back the winning edge to the floundering Marauders??

Question:
Are the Crusaders Skipper and Vice Skipper Bhakoo and Mistry planning a full frontal assault of willow and leather on their unknowing Marauders opposition???

The time is nearing, Breakfast Club for both teams will soon be here !!

Which team will proudly hold aloft `The Weapon ` this weekend???.....

Signed .... THE PAW (Eyes and EARS of rumour)
