AWARDS NIGHT Part 2 - SPECIAL AWARDS

On Thursday night we finished our Awards Night with a special set of awards for a select group of players that have achieved 100 games for our Premier Team over the past 50 plus years.

Due to our average record keeping in the past, not all our statistics have been available from before 1979/80.

Thankfully we have Harry Findlay in our club, who has done an amazing job calculating our statistics from the past 36 years and is working on the 15 to 20 years prior to that!

No easy task with limited records,.
Harry has spent many many hours updating this information.

Haz you are a true Legend and we appreciate your efforts immensely!

Following is a who's who of Napier Tech Cricket over the past 50 years with 23 current or past players in attendance on Thursday night, true Legends of our club, and as you can see from the stats of these players, some very good cricketers as well!

Blackcaps, NZ A, NZ U19's, CD Stags and Hawkes Bay players galore!

A great night with some great stories shared!

Thanks again to Photography by Corena for capturing this special night.
