Good strategy at the toss and bowling to match saw Marist walk away with a slight 28-run upset win over Wanganui United at Victoria Park on Saturday.

With five players away on representative duty, Marist captain Brett Turner put his team into bat on the basis his side would not have to deal with the pressure of a run chase.

Marist has had better success against the competition frontrunners by leaving them a target, and Turner said United's ability to score big on dead pitch could take the game away.

It proved prophetic as Marist reached 83-3 after 20 overs, then kicked on to 232 on the back of 73 by Fraser Kinnerley, while played a good supporting hand with 44.

Jamie Whiteman was a little erratic but still picked up three wickets.

In reply, Marist pinned United down, as Whiteman (61 not out) and Andrew Cording (32) tried to pull their side through.

"We tried to get close but we were pushing seven an hour," said Cording.

"They tied us down and then we couldn't get on top of them."

Captain Gerard Hobbs also contributed with 39, for his team which was missing a few campaigners with representative duties, injury and other weekend commitments.

The chase was not without some controversy in the form of United's leading hope Tom Lance being run out in "unsportsmanlike" circumstances.

Cording said after playing a delivery Lance left his crease to flick the ball up to a fielder, at which point the Marist keeper whipped off the bails.

While a legal dismissal, a player can be recalled for this but Marist needed the scalp, Cording said.

"It's no excuse but we thought it was a bit poor."

The loss may not hamper United too much as Collegiate is going to default their last match of the competition, leaving United a chance to wrap Premier 1 up with a win next week against Saracens.

Collegiate had a big 110 run win against Wanganui High School.
