NATIONAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS
The creme of New Zealand’s club cricketers descends on Cornwall Park in April each year to battle it out for
the title of National Club Champion.
In this competition, each of the six Major Associations selects a representative side to compete in a six-day tournament. The winner
of this tournament is crowned the National Champion of One Day Club Cricket.
The tournament consists of five day’s of round robin play with a finals day on a Sunday.
EASTS 2016 NZCT NATIONAL CLUB CHAMPIONS !!!
21 years and seven attempts and finally Eastern Suburbs can claim to be National Club Champions.
As Wellington 50-over champions we won our first national trophy, after the Sunday final against Canterbury club St Albans was washed out. Only 24 overs were possible in the decider at Auckland’s Cornwall Park, with St Albans 74-4 when play was called off.
Easts beat St Albans the previous day in their last round robin match and that proved to be vital as then both teams had 4 wins from 5 round robin games. However Easts had the better net run rate at the start of the final.
Easts’ Jamie Gibson was named overall Player of the Tournament.
Congratulations to all players in the team & management !!!!!!!
