Twilight Cricket

This is a social grade played on Monday and Tuesday evenings starting at 6pm.

Teams are 8-a-side and games are 14 overs per side. All games are on artificial wickets either at our home ground, Colin Maiden Park, or at a venue close by. All gear is provided by the Club.

Separate competitions run pre- and post-Xmas.

Season dates

The start and finish dates vary according to grade.  The playing dates can be found on our Club Calendar >>.

Playing Conditions

The Paying Conditions for all grades can be seen on the Auckland Cricket website - follow Club Cricket >> Playing conditions.

Coaching

The Club employs a dedicated coach for the Men's Premier, Women's Premier and Men's Premier Reserve teams.

Teams are selected and named for every game.

The Club also conducts a Senior pre-season training programme starting in August.

Volunteer involvement
