United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated

The Senior A's started the ball rolling well this season with a great all round performance over their Karaka counterparts at the Karaka Domain on Saturday.

The United bowlers restricted Karaka's batting line-up to have them finish their allotted 50 overs at 172 for 8, .all United bowlers had a piece of the action with the fielding backing up the bowling adding to the performance.
The evergreen Bruce Page leading the way with wickets taken.

Team effort was also key when United came to the batting crease, Josh Burgess being the rock to which the innings was based around with also an aggressive approach from Mike Walker helping to keep the runs ticking over.
This was duly finished off well with a fine unbeaten closing out partner-ship between Alex Johnson and Daniel Foster at 175 for 6 

Well done Boy's a great way to start the season.......

-----STOP PRESS------
It was reported that the eyes and ears of the club (aka ..The Paw) was rumoured to be at the ground on Saturday.
This has lead to more investigation and confirmation of an incident involving one of the more senior members of the team using a supposed exemption card for his lateness penalty..??
Questions must be asked on how this can happen.??...even taking into consideration his performance with the ball on the day plus his more mature standing within the side (a stiff hammy doesn't cut the mustard Brucie) how could he have this advantage over all the other members of the team?
