Overall a good season boys, most of you seem to have really enjoyed your cricket. There have been huge improvements through-out the season, and we have still have plenty to work on later this year.
Thanks boys for the effort you put in at the trial. We have some real talent and some of you are showing big improvements in your game. The Coaches are still considering their squads, but I expect to be able to announce the squads within a week. A blog post will be made and an email sent out when things are finalised.
Craig Beecroft, Convenor
We have a game scheduled this coming Sunday April 3rd against Western "A" for a North Harbour "A" team.
Given the let-down last Sunday, I thought it important to see if we could arrange a second game.
As a result of that, Howick Pakuranga (HP) "A" is available for a game this Sunday. HP "A" are preparing for a tour of Australia at the end of April.
The schedule for this Sunday is therefore:
North Harbour Black v Howick Pakuranga A
North Harbour Burgundy v Western A
The fixture will probably be played at Huapai and start at 9am. Please be there by 8.15am.

North Harbour Burgundy 147 all out in 49th over
Max Dewe 38 (88), Angus McKenzie 25 (99)
University "A" 148/8 in 49th over
Luke Forgesson, 10ov 2-25, Liam Brown 9ov, 2-25.
A win to University by two wickets.
A close and exciting game out in Huapai today. University bowled well to restrict Burgundy to 147, probably 30 runs short of a good score. Burgundy did though battle well after being 3/25.
After having University 112/8, Burgundy was in with a good chance, but University picked up the runs and the win. There were some good bowling performances from our boys.
A good effort boys in the field, have a think about what you could have done to win this game in the last several overs, and apply it during the next close game you play.
Update: 7am
Parnell with-drew late last night. The Black game is cancelled.
Burgundy v University is still to be played.
The Blue and Green games to be played at Cornwall Cricket Club are cancelled. The outfield, pitches, and pitch surrounds are sodden.
I have inspected the Kumeu pitches and grounds. The grounds are are in good shape, as are the bowlers run-up's. The artificial pitches are damp.
The weather overnight and for tomorrow is uncertain. It may improve. it may not.
A decision on the Black and Burgundy games will be made by 7am on the Sunday morning. Keep any eye on the blog.
