Also producing some valuable overs for Maungakaramea, Cody Andrews took the wicket of City's No 5, Little to disrupt the home side's flow and end the innings with a comfortable figure of 2/42 off his 10 overs.
Padding up for the second innings, the form of Maungakaramea's bowlers didn't transfer to their batters as much as they would have liked.
Despite this, No 4 Parlane had a cracker day on the Cobham Oval pitch.
Scoring 88 not-out, Parlane carried Maungakaramea through the majority of the innings. With many of his teammates struggling to make double figures, it wasn't until Parlane linked up with Cunis late in the piece to produce the runs needed to surpass City's 171 first innings spread.
The final strokes of experience from Parlane and Cunis helped Maungakaramea end the day on 174/8 off 46.5 overs to win by two wickets.
In the remaining fixtures of the first round, Onerahi had little to combat Kaipara's first innings knock of 183/10 off 49 overs, losing by 140 runs.
Kyran Dill enjoyed a knock of 58 to bolster Kaipara's innings, while Onerahi's Henry Cooper took three wickets for 29 runs.
Making light work of Onerahi in the second spell, Kaipara's bowlers had a field day with the ball in hand.
Managing 5/4, Shaun Beamish led the Kaipara bowling brigade, while Kevin Forde managed 1/8, Kyran Dill 1/10, and Matthew Taylor 3/19.
The remaining match of the round was a closer affair than the other two, with Kamo beating Whangarei Boys' High School by 24 runs after setting a first innings total of 235/10.
