Ready To Fire At ND Tournament

A vital link in the transition of Bay of Plenty Cricket players, from promising secondary school players to senior representative and professional cricket players, is the annual ND Senior Secondary cricket tournament played in Gisborne each December.

Two Bay of Plenty teams representing the Lakeland (Eastern Bay of Plenty, Rotorua, Taupo) and Coastland (Western Bay of Plenty) regions have been selected for the five-day tournament next week (10-14 December 2018), with many of the selected players having Baywide premier cricket experience.
Last season Bay of Plenty Coastland finished in third place, after defeating arch-rivals Hamilton for the second time in the tournament, in the playoff’s reduced to a fifty over per side game. Coastland batted first and posted a solid target of 245/9. The Coastland bowlers combined well to remove the Waikato team for 187 to claim a convincing 58 run victory. The Bay of Plenty Lakeland team, had a day they would rather forget after being bowled out for 41, by Waikato Valley in the battle for fifth and sixth place. Their opponents then cruised to a nine wicket win.
There were a number of outstanding individual performances posted from the two Bay of Plenty sides. Two returning Coastland players, in Dominic Crombie and Cam Riley, snared prized three wicket bags, during the competition. Eastern Bay of Plenty all-rounder Chris Tupea, who is another to return to the tournament this year, blasted 74 runs in the match with the ND Invitation side,
