Marlborough Cricket Association (MCA) today announces that General Manager Ed Gilhooly will step down from his role after nearly two decades of service. Ed first signalled his intention to transition out of the role some time ago, and following a recent family bereavement, Ed has chosen to bring his finish date forward to allow him to spend extended time in the UK.
During his tenure, Ed has overseen a range of operational, governance, and participation-focused improvements. Notable achievements include:
โข helping significantly strengthen the financial position of the Association from a challenging starting point
โข supporting the expansion of playing numbers across several formatsโincluding the recent growth of the womenโs and girlsโ game
โข building strong working relationships with Central Districts and New Zealand Cricket
โข Managing MCAโs transition from a management committee structure to a modern governance board in 2018, including implementation of the new constitution.
Operationally, Ed has been responsible for coordinating and hosting a number of significant tournaments and events. These include the Under-19 series between New Zealand and Pakistan in 2010, South Island Primary Schools tournaments in both 2015 and 2025, and multiple veteransโ tournaments, including an international fixture between New Zealand and Australia.
Chair of Marlborough Cricket, Jonathan Davis, acknowledged Edโs long service, saying: โ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ด๐ช๐จ๐ฏ๐ช๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ญ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ ๐บ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ด. ๐๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐บ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฑ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ด๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ง๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ.โ
