It’s been great this season to see girls, boys and young cricketers from all around the Coast out there competing, improving and enjoying their cricket.

The game is in a really good place at junior level, and that comes down to the players, the parents, the coaches and everyone who helps make it happen each week. Thank you all for the time and energy you put in.

Keep warm over the winter… don’t worry, summer will roll around again before we know it — and with it, another cricket season 🏏 🔥 🐦‍🔥

As we wind up another season - the association wants to shout out to Michael Cook!

In his 2 seasons as GDO our cricket offerings have progressed significantly. We consistently hear how professional and supportive he is. He’s smiling (most of the time 😃 ) and he knows how to engage kids parents and schools!! We thank you for all you’ve done these past 2 seasons!! You’re a star ⭐️.

Junior Cricket Finals – Next Saturday 🏏

Our junior cricket has really grown this year. There’s always room to build and grow, and we’ll keep doing that in the seasons ahead — but it’s been great to see the progress across all teams.

We now look forward to Finals Day next Saturday at Arthur Fong Park:

Coast Girls Scorchers v Paroa Heat 🔥
(Arthur Fong 1; 9.30am)

Greymouth Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 v Westland Warriors 🛡️
(Arthur Fong 2; 9.30am)

These matches will be followed at approximately 12:45pm by a short presentation of season awards and certificates.

We’d love to see plenty of support down there to finish off the junior season in style.
