  • Weekly Update – 24 October 2009
    Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.186: 2019/20 – Club of the Year! The 2019/20 Season may have ended a fraction prematurely but, for Parnell, it was a resounding success. Over it’s long history, 163 years, the Club has won many championships and produced some of New Zealand’s finest cricketers but few seasons have produced the results and accolades gained in 2019/20. COVID 19 has meant the postponement of the Annual Awards Dinner but Auckland Cricket has just announced the trophy winners and a superb collection of silverware comes to Parnell and our Players: “Club of the Year” – the Simmonds & Osborne Trophy awarded to Parnell Cricket Club Parnell last won this Award 27 years ago. The Trophy dates from 1905/06 when it was awarded jointly to City, Grafton, North Shore and Parnell Cricket Clubs. Parnell was the sole awardee in 1909/10 and North Shore won in 1910/11 but, then, till 1926/27 there were No Awards made. Reinstated the next season, From then it was awarded each year to WW 2 with Parnell winning in 1933/34. No awards during the War but from 1946/47 it has been presented annually again and Parnell won it the next season,1947/48. Next, and represented by Eastern Districts (Parnell, Orakei, Ellerslie and Panmure CCs), we won in 1959/60. The District Scheme ended in 1966 but Parnell did not win the Trophy again until 1992/93. That season Mike Simpson, our present Patron, was both President and Chairman. It has taken another 27 years to win again.

Around this club you only have to say “Joey” and players to have scored 2,000 runs and taken 200 wickets. In a list of spinners and medium everyone knows who you’re talking about. pacers, the only true “quicks” on that list are Joey and one Sir Richard Hadlee - illustrious The reason is simple, for not only has Joey given his all on the field, he’s done so off it as well. company.

Lanka, and Bangladesh. Although he would be selected as “stand-by” for higher honours, surprisingly this eluded him. Joey’s story can’t be told without his Dad’s - Frank “Manuleto” Yovich. As Joey says: “I basically lived in the back pocket of my old man. When I was 10, he would bat for the CCC In the 2001-02 season, ND put an end to Steve Waugh’s Australia team run of consecu�ve Men’s Prems and after his innings, it would be pads off and builder’s apron on to work on First Class wins by drawing with them in Hamilton, Joey knocking over Greg Blewe� and the upstairs clubrooms at the old Cobham Oval.

  • Spring Newsletter 2020
    Wellington Wanderers Cricket Club Inc. Spring Newsletter 2020 The 2020-21 season, one in which the club will celebrate its 75th Anniversary is just around the corner. The Global Covid-19 Pandemic has meant there are challenges in putting together a fixture list as well as a programme which reflects such a significant milestone in the club’s history. Schedule of Matches: Matches will commence in mid-October with our traditional fixture away to Whanganui Collegiate School. NZCEA Exams then take over and we will not take the field again until early December. From then on the club will be involved in up to twenty six days of cricket as well as a Test Match Breakfasts and 75th Anniversary Celebrations. This year we are planning on introducing a Secondary School Girls 6 a Side tournament as part of our commitment to fostering the growth of Women’s cricket. The full schedule of matches and events will be published on the Club’s website (www.wandererscricketclub.org.nz) as well as being distributed to members. Golf Day: Immediately prior to our first match our annual golf day will take place when thirty four teams take to the fairways of Shandon Golf Club to play for The White Rose Trophy and possibly for one lucky golfer the opportunity to win $20,000 cash for scoring a hole in one on the 18th. In addition there are some significant prizes and auction items up for grabs. Thanks to Nicki Cruickshank for her donation of two nights’ accommodation for 4 at her 305 In the Vines Luxury Villas in Havelock North (www.305inthevines.co.nz).

  • The Hawke Cup Returns 1968-1973
    The Hawke Cup Returns 1968-1973 On the 29th December 1970 Taranaki won the Hawke Cup from Southland – on the 12th March 1973 Southland reversed the result. For twelve successive challenges Taranaki held the cup and proved itself to be the most tenacious of defenders, providing its supporters with matches which ranged over the whole gamut of cricketing emotions – tense, exciting, dour, rain-interrupted, one-sided. The team, well balanced between experienced and youthful talent, provided three seasons that must rank as outstanding in the province’s cricketing history. 1968-69 saw the retirement of L.Jones as a Taranaki selector after six seasons, a service which was recognised by his election as a life member of the association. In return he presented the Les Jones Cup for the outstanding representative batting performances – J.Irving was to be the first recipient. L.F.Walsh was appointed as selector and with R.Ireland held those positions throughout this period. Walsh was a sound judge of what type of player was needed to succeed at representative level and imbued in his teams a clear expectation of the tasks that lay before them – he was later to prove as adept and successful at selecting the Taranaki rugby team. In both sports Leo Walsh was well served by outstanding captains – in cricket Brian Bayley and Denis Yardley and in rugby Graham Mourie. Ray Ireland, who had played for Taranaki cricket in the 1940’s and 50’s had a deep knowledge of Taranaki cricket and cricketers and complemented Walsh nicely. In terms of results the 1968-69 season was similar to earlier seasons – six matches with two outright wins but inconsistency of performance still occurred; the season’s nadir was the first innings loss to Horowhenua in a Hawke Cup elimination match.
