Tim Southee and Ish Sodhi took fourteen wickets between them to lead Northen Districts to a 21-run win in a low-scoring match against Canterbury in Hamilton. The win took Northern Districts to the top of table.Northern Districts batted only 29.5 overs in the first innings after being put in, and were bowled out for 138. Medium-pacer Kyle Jamieson did the bulk of the damage, taking 4 for 32. But Tim Southees five-wicket haul and Ish Sodhis four added to a first-day tally of 21 wickets as Canterbury folded for 112 in response.Daryl Mitchell (44) top-scored for Northern Districts in the second innings, and five others got into double figures, as they were bowled for 186. Canterbury began their chase of 208 with a 62-run opening stand between Michael Davidson (45) and Peter Fulton (28), before encountering a period where they lost 5 wickets for 41 that made things difficult for them. The last-wicket pair of Henry Shipley (26) and Ed Nuttall (11) put on 33 to keep Canterbury interested but could only take them to 186 before the match ended early on day four.Luke Woodcock scored his second consecutive century of the season - an unbeaten 203 - as the match between Wellington and Auckland ended in a draw.Woodcocks innings was instrumental in helping Wellington set up 475 in the first innings after being 79 for 4 within the first session of the match, thanks to Cody Andrews (3-101) and Dan Grobbelaar (2-95) who shared the four wickets between them. He put on century stands with Tom Blundell (85) and Matt McEwan (63) as Wellington added 396 runs for their last four wickets, before declaring. Jeet Ravals 84 and his 110-run stand for the opening wicket with Martin Guptill (56) set Auckland up in their reply. Michael Guptill-Bunce then made 109 at No.3, but there were no other significant contributions, as they were bowled out for 374 and handed a 101-run lead. McEwan followed up his half-century with 4 for 80. Both teams scored at well over 4-per-over in their second innings. Legspinner Tarun Nethula took 5 for 71 as Wellington played attackingly while trying to set a target. Martin Guptill then made an unbeaten 128, but the target of 342 was too much, and the 65 overs too little for either team to force a result.Anaru Kitchen (133) and Josh Finnie (98) both made career-best scores as Otago overturned a shaky first-innings start to take control of the rest of their drawn game against Central Districts in Dunedin.19-year-old Finnie joined Kitchen when Otago were reduced to 101 for 5 after electing to bat. He narrowly missed out on a maiden century when the pairs 182-run stand was broken by Doug Bracewell (3-58). Kitchen then reached his seventh first-class hundred and put on 61 with Derek de Boorder (45*) who batted with the tail to stretch Otagos score to 402.Fast bowler Neil Wagner then took three early wickets to reduce Central Districts to 22 for 4 from 19 for zero. A 112-run partnership between Tom Bruce (83) and Dan Cleaver (50) briefly stabilized Central Districts, but they conceded a 186-run lead - in being bowled out for 216 - that allowed Otago to press for a result and set a target of 400.Hamish Rutherford led that effort - 213 for 7 at 5.39 per over - with a 107-ball 110 studded with nine fours and five sixes. But Central Districts were led by Ajaz Patel (45), Mitch Renwick (48) and Tom Bruce (55) as they batted out a little over three sessions to earn a draw. Vapormax Plus Blu .

Man U dominated MLS players in two of the leagues annual all-star games, winning by a combined score of 9-2. But the top domestic league in the U.S. has never lost to another international club since it adopted its current all-star game format a decade ago. Among the MLS victims over the years: Celtic, West Ham, Fulham and Chelsea, which was beaten 3-2 last season when the game was played at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. "Were thrilled to be able to bring a club as historic as Roma outside of Europe and play in the U.S.," AS Roma board member Mark Pannes said Thursday in announcing the matchup. The game will be played July 31 at Sporting Park, the home of MLS club Sporting Kansas City. "We think this format is tremendous, when you can take the best players in MLS and play one of the best clubs from Europe," Pannes said. "Its highly challenging." AS Roma, founded in 1927, became the first club from Serie A to be owned by foreigners when a four-man group of Americans -- including James Pallotta, a minority owner of the Celtics, and Thomas DiBenedetto, a limited partner in the Red Sox -- purchased a majority interest in August 2011. They view the all-star game as an opportunity to build AS Romas global brand. "Playing in the MLS All-Star game fits in perfectly with our initiatives in the United States," said Pallotta, who serves as the clubs president. "Major League Soccer has done a great job building its all-star game into a top-tier event and were proud to participate." AS Romas ownership group isnt the only connection to the U.S., either. Along with star players such as Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi, Roma is the club of midfielder Michael Bradley, who got his start in MLS and is a stalwart on the U.S. national team. "I cant think of a better club to join us here. Theyre one of the most successful and popular clubs in Italy, they have tremendous players and some household names," said MLS president Mark Abbott said. "We think the format makes this game very compelling and very entertaining, and to have clubs from different leagues around the world is perfect for us.dddddddddddd" MLS teams have mostly had their way with international clubs. They defeated Mexican club Guadalajara in the first example of the format in 2003. After the league reverted to an East-West matchup the following year, MLS clubs knocked off Fulham, Celtic, West Ham and earned a draw with Everton in the ensuing years. Then came the back-to-back humiliations at the hands of Manchester United. Its that example that Roma intends to follow. "Were bringing our entire first squad," Pannes said. "If theyre healthy, theyre eligible to play, were going to put them on the field. We want to win, bottom line. We view this as a competitive match and we know the MLS views it that way as well." Sporting KC officials also view it as a crowning achievement. The club has gone through a rebranding and renaissance since it was purchased by its current ownership in 2006, evolving into a model MLS franchise that routinely sells out Sporting Park -- the $200 million, soccer-specific stadium that the organization opened two years ago. Along with hosting the MLS All-Star game, the stadium will host what could be a critical World Cup qualifier between the U.S. and Jamaica in October. "For us, its going to be another one of those things -- were going to try to raise the bar if we can," Sporting KC chief executive Robb Heineman said. "Thats one of the things weve tried to do here as a fan base, as an ownership group and as a team is take things to the next level." Heineman joked that hed try to load up AS Romas players on some of Kansas Citys famous barbecue just before the game, and then expressed his admiration for the three-time Serie A champs. "This is actually really cool for me," Heineman said. "The first international match I ever saw in Europe was a Roma-Fiorentino game that was incredible, and it kind of captivated me to think about what a future could look like in soccer. So this is kind of coming full circle for me." ' ' '
