🟑βšͺ️⚫️ Who and where We are:
Wellington Collegians is a fantastic cricket club located in the heart of Wellington City and was formed when the Wellington (1849) and the Wellington College Old Boys (1879) clubs merged in 1970.We pride ourselves on giving players opportunities to develop their cricket skills in a friendly and social, club environment. Players

of all abilities and ages are welcome to come and join the Collegians Club.University Scholarships are available to selected club members attending University. A number of players have represented both Wellington and New Zealand. New Zealand representatives include Martin Crowe, Bert Vance and most recently James Franklin. Penny Kinsella and most recently Fiona Fraser have played for New Zealand from the women’s ranks. History:
The Wellington Collegians Cricket Club was originally formed at a meeting held in the Ship Hotel on November 14th, 1849. At that meeting officials were elected and the name chosen and so was born the Wellington Cricket Club. The Wellington Cricket Club continued as a leading club in Wellington until 1970 when it amalgamated with the Wellington College Old Boys Club, which was formed in 1899. This produced a name change to Wellington College Old Boys Cricket Club in 1973. The Wellington College Old Girls Club amalgamated with the Club in 1976 and this led to the name change to Wellington Collegians Cricket Club. For many years the club used dreary unsuitable rooms at the Basin Reserve. In 1960 it approached the City Council suggesting the Club and Council would jointly build a new pavilion at Anderson Park with part of the building reserved exclusively for the Club. Council agreed but it was eight years before the dream became a reality. Historically Collegians has always included "characters" among players guaranteed to liven up any social gathering, because cricket by its very nature is a social game. It has always been a challenge to maintain the right balance between the discipline needed on the field to win a championship and the fun loving atmosphere we foster in our club rooms. For all that Collegians players have set some remarkable records:
Ken Tucker is still the only bowler in Wellington cricket history to take 9 wickets in each innings, a feat achieved against Petone in 1915. He took nine for 46 in the first innings, and had exactly the same figures in the second. The highest aggregate ever made by a Wellington club cricketer in one season was 1259 runs by Penny Kinsella in 1992-93. She also scored over 1000 runs the previous season. Collegians has won its share of competition titles through all grades. It has produced many Wellington and New Zealand representatives . As the oldest club in Wellington it has a remarkable history, but we also believe you must look to the future and be innovative and forward thinking to continue making history.

Best of luck to our Wanderers XI heading out to Anderson Park today – first ball at 3pm! πŸ’šπŸ

A special mention to the Baguley crew, with Noah and Theo getting the opportunity to take the field alongside their dad Campbell. Moments like these are what our club is all about.

Fingers crossed the weather fines up so we can get underway, and continue creating opportunities for all our members – bringing generations together and ensuring everyone gets their chance in Wanderers colours.

Go well today team!

πŸ’― City!

Two tons in a run fest!

πŸ‘ Congrats to Jay Wankhade (128) and Hugo Campion (102*) who both made centuries as our Y11-13 youth team made 343/6 at the home of cricket a couple of Sundays ago.

The match ended up being a nail biter with the Sri Lankan Sports Club youth team managing to chase it down.

Well done to everyone who played, and a big thanks to those who came out to support.
