The annual Yr 7&8 cricket tournament will be played next week on Tues 19th, Wed 20th and Thursday 21st in Timaru. The winners of these tournaments go on to play other teams from the Canterbury region for a chance to play in the National Finals (as Waihi did a couple of seasons ago).
The tournament is a great opportunity for these young boys and girls to play ‘our great game’ for their schools, and with every team getting at least four matches, they all have a chance to improve.
Most matches will be played at Ashbury Park, starting with the first match at about 9.15am each day, and a second match after lunch. Pop down and support your mates, your children and your grandchildren.
Below are the draws to make it easier to find the game of most interest to you.
