Ladies Cricket
Like junior cricket it has always been a tough assignment to get a Ladies Team to be associated with the club but with winning comes recognition and in the early 80's we gained a ready made team from ALHA made up of some very good cricketers including past NZ & Auckland reps.
This team played in the top Auckland grade and were very competitive as well as a lot of fun in the social aspect of the club with the guitar playing evenings etc.
The current plays in the Women's First grade. They have won the championship in 2004/2005 season. In 2005/2006 season they came close but lost in the final which saw them being placed second.

The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
