2019/2020 Prizegiving
Happy lockdown fellas!!!
Sad that the cricket season came to a screaming halt and we weren’t able to have our end season bunfight and prizegiving evening.
I’ve drawn together team stats and recommendations (a few teams didn’t bother to send theirs in).
I’ve poured over the facts and figures and came up with a list of Prizewinners for 2019/20 season.
Player of the Year – ISAIAH WILSON Div7 3rd Grade Aces.
"Isaiah is the epitome of a good club man. He put his hand up to take over the role as Senior Club Captain at the start of the season.
He regularly ran the Club’s open net practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. An electrician, he volunteered to fix an electrical fault
in the Clubrooms. When he had a visiting team from USA he volunteered to help with running the bar and driving the barbecue. When his team
was defaulted to, he volunteered to help out by playing for another team. As well as all this he was the
top wicket-taker for the season for
his team. Isaiah is deservedly the Player of the Year!!!"
The judges decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into!!! Haha !!
Engraving of the trophies will be done when things settle down a bit.
Take it easy everyone and I’ll be in touch when I&rsquo got anything to report on how next season might shape up!

2019/2020 Season HAS NOW ENDED
Amid COVID-19 Cricket Wellington along with all other major associations have been advised to cancel all community/club cricket for the remainder of the season.
NZC have released a statement and Cricket Wellington only see fit to follow suit of this. As you may have seen in the media other sporting codes are approaching this in the same manner by cancelling matches that have been scheduled.
This is an extremely unfortunate way to end the season however with COVID-19 impacting sporting events around New Zealand we feel this is the safest outcome to protect the virus from potentially spreading.
NZ Cricket Cancels Club & School Cricket for the rest of the season
