Each week Counties Sports Hub will put together our CMCA form XI based on the Premier results through the season so far.

Rikesh Patel (Manukau City)
Patel picked up some wickets with his off-spin bowling to help Manukau City beat neighbours Weymouth on the weekend. His spin bowling has been over-shadowed by his batting this season but is more than handy.

Manpreet Singh (Southern Counties) – NEW
Singh forces his way into our Form XI on the back of a terrific season for the combination outfit. Singh top scored for Southern Counties as they picked up their first win of the W.H Taylor Shield competition.

Sam Varcoe (Karaka)
Varcoe top scored for Karaka against Pukekohe Metro on the weekend and continues his impressive run of form. The Counties Manukau skipper is having another superb campaign.

Sandeep Patel (Manukau City)
Patel missed out for what seems like the first time this season as he failed to fire against Weymouth. It has been a super dominant season for the Manukau City skipper and he is in no danger of losing his place in the Form XI.

Luke Williamson (Karaka)
Williamson was in the runs again as Karaka thumped Pukekohe Metro over the weekend and pulled the right strings to earn his side a key victory. Williamson is having a terrific season.

Aryandeep Mann (Papakura)
It has been a bit of theme this season but when Mann misses out, as he did on Saturday against Southern Counties, the Papakura side doesn’t seem to post big totals. Mann has enjoyed a great run of form however and easily keeps his spot as wicket-keeper.

Scott Johnston (Manukau City)
Johnston collected a pair of wickets as Manukau City beat Papakura on the weekend. The premier fast bowler in the region has been terrific all season.

Kurt Barnes (Pukekohe Metro)
Barnes wasn’t able to do too much with the ball against Karaka on Saturday but he did score some vital runs after being promoted up the order. He keeps his spot in our Form XI and we back him to get back in wicket taking mode next week.

Finn Williams (Southern Counties) – NEW
Williams has been enjoyed a break-out season playing Premier cricket with Southern Counties. He has got better and better as the season has progressed and took a brilliant six wickets in a match-winning performance to edge Pukekohe Metro skipper Cameron Hardwick in our Form XI this week.

Andrew Goodare (Southern Counties)
Goodare put in another sound showing against Papakura as he continues to spearhead the Southern Counties attack. He forms a lethal combination with youngster Haydon Danford.

Haydon Danford (Southern Counties)
Danford grabbed a pair of wickets to help Southern Counties pick up their first ever win in the W.H Taylor Shield. It has been a brilliant debut season so far.
