The outfit, which made its first appearance of 2022 at the weekend, defeated Echuca by six wickets.
It was a dominant performance from United against the reigning premier, considering its last hit-out came four weeks ago before the mid-season break.
The successful run chase at Victoria Park has United reclaim top spot following its two losses before the break.
Echuca opted to bat first after it won the toss and posted 5-90.
But a peach delivery from United’s Dinesha Patabandige had the home side in early disarray.
The opening bowler dismissed Echuca captain Sharon Henson for a duck and finished with tidy figures of 1-17.
Danielle Garden battled hard for 16 runs, while Jenna Park (nine runs) was an anchor for Echuca’s batting order.
United’s Cathy Dervish ensured the host was restricted to less than triple figures.
Dervish collected impressive figures of 3-13 from four overs.
In the run chase, United found itself in early trouble.
Much like Echuca’s batting effort, disaster struck when Dervish was sent packing back to the shed in the second over.
However, Lauren Hall (17 not out) and Raechel Gardiner (13 runs) wrestled momentum back in the visitors’ favour.
Some handy contributions from the tail-order helped United fall over the line with six balls to spare.
In women’s B-grade action, Kyabram Fire Brigade cruised to a thumping 121-run win over Moama.
Jess O’Neill starred with 25 not out for the victor, while teammate Tori Walsh collected 2-0 with the ball.
Lastly, Nathalia suffered a four-wicket loss to Bamawm-Lockington United.
