Sunday T20

Cricket Wellington has this season started two T20 grades for junior club teams on Sunday afternoons, a Year 6 grade and a combined Year 7/8 grade.  These competitions are additional to the existing Saturday grades and are intended to give junior cricketers the opportunity to play two forms of the game, and in future provide two pathways for players.

Collegians would like to enter teams in both grades – as many teams as we have players available.  The season will run for two separate periods – pre and post-Christmas and at this stage we are looking for players for just the pre-Christmas period.  We understand that weekends are busy and are happy to run a squad system so that players are not committed to playing every week.

If you are interested in playing, coaching or managing please contact:

Year 6: John Chandler 
Year 7/8: Andrew Dunford

When?

Sundays 3pm start finishing approx. 5.30pm

Where?

At public grounds across Wellington – to be advised.

Who?

Anyone playing in Year 6-8 grades in 2011/12 season – these are not selected teams. Note children in Year 8 at school in 2011 may continue to play in the post-Christmas competition so long as they also play for a college team.

Premier team players note the Year 8 Zone tournament also runs on Sundays from 20 November to 18 December 2011.

Season Dates

Sunday 30 October – Sunday 18 December 2011 (eight weeks).  There will be a separate competition covering the post-Christmas period.

Teams / Match Format

Eight players per team (larger squads if possible so you don't have to play every week). 20 overs per innings – maximum four overs per bowler.  Batsmen retire at 40.

Cost

There is no charge – participation is covered by your existing registration fee for 2011/12.

Team Practice

Up to individual coaches but there is unlikely to be an organised practice session for the Sunday T20 grades.
