🏏 A special moment in North Otago Cricket history.

Our AGM provided the opportunity to gather seven of our living North Otago Cricket Association Life Members in one photograph, representing decades of service, leadership, playing achievement, coaching, administration and volunteer commitment to cricket in our region.

Front row: Justin Fowler, Glynn Cameron and Ben Coleman.
Back row: Peter Cameron, Mark Julius, Scott Cameron and Duncan Drew.

Unfortunately, fellow Life Members Ted Tempero and Hamish McKenzie were unable to be present.

We also take this opportunity to acknowledge Russell Payne, a valued Life Member who sadly passed away recently. Russell made a significant contribution to cricket in North Otago and his service, friendship and passion for the game will long be remembered.

Together, our Life Members represent the very best of North Otago Cricket. Their dedication has helped shape our game, support our clubs, and create opportunities for generations of players.

Thank you all for your outstanding contribution to North Otago Cricket. 🏏👏💙

A proud night for North Otago Cricket. 🏏

At our AGM we were honoured to award Life Membership to Glynn Cameron, Ben Coleman, Justin Fowler and Hamish McKenzie in recognition of their outstanding service to cricket in our region.

It was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout from the cricket community to celebrate these deserving recipients and acknowledge the tremendous contribution they have each made to our game.

Congratulations gentlemen and thank you for your dedication to North Otago Cricket. 👏🏆
