Their funding is vital for us to be able to introduce cricket to over 1500 kids within the 48 low schools we invite. Ewen Thompson will once again oversee the coaching and tournament days and will promote participants to apply for a QSCC scholarship. QSCC have not only extended their support of the programme, but they have also granted an additional $5,000 to be used to introduce scholarships to help participants to play cricket. ![]() Queenstown Events Centre will be the venue for the tournament over the first weekend in April (2nd/3rd) 2016.

It's time to spread the word, gather your mates and start to get organized for your premier past player event. ![]() Auckland overcame a resurgent Northern Districts team to retain their title at the recent Masters Tournament in Queenstown.

The Masters will look to the forthright Sinclair to assert himself during the match and opening bowlers Guy Coleman and Dean Askew will once again be a handful with the new ball |
