Hosea must be calling in some favours. EC have been close in a couple of high-scoring games this season.

[Number 10]

King Country lineup could be a noteworthy one for this weekend against Poverty Bay, too.

@number-10 said in Heartland Championship - news:

King Country lineup could be a noteworthy one for this weekend against Poverty Bay, too.

King Country lineup v Poverty Bay confirmed.

Aarin Dunster will play his first game for the province since 2017, and his son Cruise in the lineup too.

This will make just the third time a father and son have appeared in the same NZ first-class match.

Aarin's nephew Maximus is the lineup, too.
