Hi all,
And welcome to yet another exciting season with Karori Cricket club. I have been asked to put together a regular newsletter to inform past and present players, amongst others, of what’s been happening lately at the club. I will attempt to give a quick rundown on how each team is shaping up as well as any other newsworthy events.
Anybody who has been around for the last 2-3 years will undoubtedly know about the much-anticipated completion of the redeveloped
Senior Men’s Team:This season promises to be another successful one with a relatively unchanged squad from last season. The pre-season preparation was somewhat hampered by the unavailability of several players who only arrived back recently from abroad having just had an off-season in the
Senior Reserves:The Senior Reserve team has come ‘oh-so-close’ to winning the Senior 2 grade and being promoted to the Hazlett Competition, for the last two years running. This year will prove to be different. The ‘senior squad’ provides a luxury that not many clubs have, a group of talented players who all could play Pearce Cup, and the flow on from this is that our reserve team is again very strong. I have no doubts that this year, with the depth that the club has built up over the last few seasons, and a team with amazing spirit and passion, we will be finally crowned Senior 2 champions, and promoted to the Hazlett Trophy.
As with the Senior team, the Reserves have a very familiar look about them, and everyone is looking forward to getting back onto the home of cricket, it’s been far too long between drinks breaks. I’m really looking forward to leading this team to success, both on and off the field, with the help of other senior members in the team. Bring on the 20th of October (and an inaugural stump race to christen the new ground that evening???)!!!Cheers
The reserves actually had a good start to the season winning their first game against Easter Suburbs, with a 4 wicket win. The next game however was not so fruitful. Playing against a talented
Both the top two men’s teams have lost one game and will have hopefully learnt from their mistake. We will watch both teams with much anticipation and high hopes of both teams achieving 1st place in the respective grades.
