Long serving Karaka Premier cricketer Terrence Otterson will bring up a century of matches for the side when they meet Pukekohe Metro in the W.H Taylor Shield clash at Karaka Sports Complex on Saturday.

Otterson made his debut for the club back in 2009 and has played over 250 games in total.

Injuries have prevented him from playing significantly more Premier cricket and the century could well have been reached years ago with better luck on that front.

Karaka beat Pukekohe Metro in the Duthie Cup final a fortnight ago and the two great rivals will be desperate to score a win in what shapes up as a crucial match in the modified two-day competition.

Elsewhere Southern Counties head to Bruce Pulman Park to meet Papakura while Weymouth hosts neighbours Manukau City at Mountfort Park.
