Halswell Cricket Club

As the season has now come to an end, it's time to recognise and thank our amazing sponsors we have had on board this season. This season their sponsorship went towards things such as new uniforms, balls and player of the month vouchers. So, a big thank you to the following businesses that have supported us this season 🙏

The Halswell Cricket Club Committee invites our Membership to attend a Special General Meeting that will be held at the above time and place for the purpose of considering and voting on the Motion set out below:

"That the existing Constitution of the Halswell Cricket Club be revoked and the proposed new Constitution of Halswell Cricket Club be adopted along with re-registering under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022."

The Club is required to re-register as an Incorporated Society under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 by 5th April 2026. To complete this, the Club needs to adopt a new Constitution that complies with the Act.

Adoption of this new constitution will also mean the senior and junior parts of our club will be more officially connected, and will be operating under the same Constitution - so there is also a need to create a new Constitution which is fit for this purpose.

Massive congratulations to Leighton Johnston on selection for this tournament!

The New Zealand Over-50s squad to tour the UK was announced last night at the Final Dinner of the IPT in Wellington.

NZ Over-50s Convenor of Selectors Greg Stretch announced the side, which will be captained by Robbie Frew and includes four new caps: seam bowler Jamie Graham (Auckland), keeper-batsman Dan Lucas (Auckland), and two off-spinning all-rounders in Richard Sheehan (Wellington) and Leighton Johnston (Canterbury).

The side will play 11 matches on its UK tour: 2 international matches (O50Is) vs Scotland, 2 O50Is vs England, county games against Yorkshire and Lancashire, 2 O50Is against Wales, another O50I against England, and a final match against the England Lions.

Congratulations to all players named for what looks like an incredible tour!
