State Auckland Aces team for penultimate round of State Championship

With the unavailability of several front line players, the State Auckland Aces selectors have made several changes to the team to play the State Canterbury Wizards at the Village Green, Christchurch starting tomorrow.

Replaced from the team that beat the State Central Stags in Palmerston North last week are Chris Drum, Matt Horne, Mark Richardson and Lou Vincent, away on Test duty with the CLEAR Black Caps, and Sam Whiteman who is still rehabilitating from a back injury.

Into the team come Tama Canning, Bradley Nielsen, Sanjeewa Silva, Rob Lynch and Nick Horsley. Nielsen (Howick Pakuranga) and Lynch (Cornwall) make their debut for the State Auckland Aces.

The State Auckland Aces team is:

Brooke Walker (captain)
Andre Adams
Tama Canning
Nick Horsley
Llorne Howell
Tim McIntosh
