Cricket

The Varsity Cricket Club again had a successful season last year, with the 1st team finishing 3rd in the senior competition and the 2nd team second in the 2A division.

Bruce Murray had an outstanding season with the club, representing N.Z. at home and overseas while also playing for the Wellington Plunket Sheild side. He also won the Nugget Cup for the N.Z. cricketer who made the greatest impact on the N.Z. cricketing scene last year.

Rick Priest and Syd Gowland both toured Australia with the N.Z. Universities team last February, and the tournament team (for students) performed creditably at Easter Tournament.

The club has entered 6 teams in the Wellington competition this year, so there will be ample opportunity for those wishing to join to play for the club.

The club is especially keen to welcome any new players who may be available. At present practices are being held in the gymnasium Tuesday and Wednesday nights 5-7 p.m.; we move onto Kelburn Park later this month.
