SC Cricket administrates all facets of cricket in
a region stretching from the Rangitata river to the Waitaki river in
Senior, Second (2 sections), Presidents and Fourth grades, as well as a strong
womens competition and JAB sections. Cricket
has been played in Timaru and South Canterbury since about 1861 and
the SCCA looks after everything from its offices in the Graeme Blanchard
Centre at Aorangi Park, Timaru, where two full time staff are situated.
The SCCA website has been put
together as a central point for all SC cricket clubs to be able to
check draws, send results, view competition points and read news related
to rep matches, sponsors, meetings, coaching and development for juniors
through to senior grades.
We
also hope that the website will be useful for visitors from outside
the district wishing to find out cricket information from the South
Canterbury District, whether it be history, contact details, or seeing
who is performing in the local club and representative teams.

Harvey
King, was one of 50 NZ recipients to receive the ICC Centenary medal
in recognition of their long-serving voluntary contribution to the
game.
The medals
are an expression of gratitude for the unsung work of those volunteers
who ensure cricket is a great sport with a great spirit and Harvey
was presented his medal during the recent NZ vs Australia T20 match
played in Christchurch.
Harvey has played for South Canterbury and first
class for Canterbury, as well as being an active administrator, coach
and umpire since his playing days.
