Playing cricket in the 2014/15 season

If you're looking to play cricket in Christchurch next summer the St Albans Cricket Club caters for men's and women's cricketers of all abilities and aspirations. Whether you are new to the city, wanting to change clubs or just looking to start playing again after a period away from the game, we have a place for you. Based at the picturesque Hagley Oval - host venue of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, including the opening ceremony and tournament's opening match - we have teams in most adult men's, women's, secondary schoolgirls and junior girls grades.
  • OVERSEAS AMATEURS:
    If you live and play cricket in the UK, Ireland or the Netherlands and fancy a summer "Down Under" at one of New Zealand's leading metropolitan cricket clubs (8 men's teams, 3 women's teams) contact us to find out more. The season starts on October 4, 2014.

  • CHRISTCHURCH-BASED PLAYERS:
    We are currently taking expressions of interest from any male and female players who are looking to play next summer. Those with superior ability who are keen to try out for the club's top three men's teams are invited to pre-season training when it begins in early August.

  • COMPLETE TEAMS:
    Should you play in a self-organised or social pub type team and wish to link up with one of Christchurch's top clubs and play as a stand-alone team, but under the St Albans banner, let us know. We are looking for a team or two to play for the mighty Saints next summer in whatever grade your abilities are commensurate with.

    To find out more information or register your interest in playing for St Albans in 2014/15 please e-mail Alan Jamieson at alanjamieson@xtra.co.nz.
  • PLAY GIRLS/WOMEN'S CRICKET IN CHRISTCHURCH:

    St Albans has cricket for girls of all abilities and ages catering for girls in Year 4 right up to Premier women's level. With as many as six teams in primary and secondary school girls and women's grades it ensures a smooth transition for players starting out at any level.

    We are big on coaching and creating a positive club environment plus have opportunities for Year 7-13 girls to go on team trips to other parts of the country to further their development. It's this formula that has seen the club produce a large number of Canterbury and New Zealand representatives and indeed has a significant number at present.

    We are keen to recruit players at all levels so if the above sounds enticing to you, get in touch with women's club captain Barry van Beurten today at barry@denver.co.nz.
