Massive congratulations to Premier Player Tom Bracewell, who received the Cricket Wellington Tǎne Māori Player of the year award at the Senior Cricket Community awards a couple of weeks ago. Well deserved Tom! We are very proud.

Easts Underachievers capped off a strong season with victory in Sunday’s final at Kilbirnie 1, claiming the Senior Division 2 timed cricket title with a two-wicket win over Stokes Valley 2nd XI.

It marks a standout campaign for the side, having already secured the T20 title earlier in the season. While they narrowly missed out on taking the overall grade, the double success in both formats reflects the quality and consistency the lads showed throughout the year.

From Friday nights and have a go super smash sessions to Saturdays where hundreds of kids are enjoying our great game, Gregor is at the center of it all.

We are so proud of you Gregor, and grateful you continue to do what you do best for the enjoyment of our youth. Congratulations, Gregor.
