Kiwisport Cricket a hit

Wairarapa Cricket development officer Sam Curtis is thrilled with the success of the Kiwisport Country Schools programme which has just been concluded for the 2012-13 season.

Run courtesy of Kiwisport funding and supported by Sport Wellington, the aim of this innovation is to increase club participation, not only in terms of players but also in the number of volunteer helpers as well.

The closure of the programme was celebrated at Alfredton and Martinborough where tournaments were held. Included in the Alfredton event were teams from Tinui, Alfredton, Whareama, Eketahuna and Wainuioru while the Martinborough tourney was contested by Kahutara, Pirinoa, Greytown, Martinborough and Gladstone. Results-wise it was a pretty much a case of "horses for courses" with hosts Alfredton and Martinborough claiming the spoils.
