The Northern Premier Men’s team for the 2007 NZ Tri Series in Wellington was named at the Northern Club tournament held on Queens Birthday weekend.

Northern would like to welcome Bryce Fellows from Central and Nigel Collin from Southern to the team. Also to Matt Leoffen and Riki Cowely who return to the team after being unavailable last year. I’m sure these players will add new dynamic to the team.

Team trainings are now underway with the team traveling to Hamilton last weekend for the first training.

Northern Region Indoor Sports is currently finalising a venue for its new Queens Birthday weekend tournament.

Mens Social(For other mens teams)
Over 30’s (for players over 30 by July 27)
Under 19’s Under 19 date TBC

The suggested entry fee for the tournament be $200 plus a $100 levy towards our representative teams for this year.

Northern Region Indoor Sports are delighted to announce they are the attempting to send an Over 35’s team to The Australian Open Championships in Brisbane in early August 2007. The NZ board has formally passed on our request to the Australian national body and we are hopeful of a positive reply. It is a major year for the masters tournament in Australia. The event hosts over 30’s, over 35’s and over 40’s tournaments at the same time. This year Queensland have assembled a super team as they attempt to record a 10th consecutive victory in the over 35 grade.

Northern Chairman David Nagel says with a national Over 35 grade not being offered at home this is an important opportunity for players looking to prepare for the Masters World Cup in Sri Lanka next year. The New Zealand and Australian boards agreed last year to allow team from both countries to attend their events. Northern are hoping to become the first team to take advantage of the opportunity and to give our masters a considerable head start in their international preparations.

Tri Series will be taking place on the 28th - 30th July this year at Action Manukau. Premiere Mens, Womens, Colts and Masters grades will all be competing for top honours in their sport within New Zealand. It should be a great weekend of top class indoor cricket so feel free to come on down and support our Northern teams.

On Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of June the SAINTS Indoor Cricket club is hosting its first Indoor Cricket Tournament. A mens open grade and a ladies open grade will be offered. All entries are welcome and prizes will be on offer.
