The Club enters teams into all grades offered by the Auckland Cricket Association:

  • Premier Grade (selected from the combined University & Ellerslie Clubs following pre season trials*)
  • Premier Reserve Grade (selected from the combined University & Ellerslie Clubs following pre season trials*)
  • Senior A Grade (combination of two day and limited overs cricket)

  • Women's Grades
  • Sunday Twenty20 Grades (games start at 3pm on Sunday afternoons; half-season entries available)

Teams play against clubs from within the Auckland region so some travel is required to game venues when playing away from home.

Twilight Cricket

This is a "social" grade played on Monday and Tuesday evenings starting at 6pm.

Teams are 8-a-side and games are 14 overs per side. All games are on artificial wickets at our home ground, Colin Maiden Park. All gear is provided by the Club.

Separate competitions run pre- and post Xmas.

Season

The season normally starts mid October and finishes on the last Saturday in March. The season breaks over Christmas and resumes again mid January. The season playing dates can be found on our Club Calendar >>.

The Senior Grade teams (excluding Senior One-Day grades) practice as a combined squad once a week and as a team once a week. Team training sessions are facilitated by a dedicated coach.

Teams are selected and named every Wednesday.

The Club also conducts a Senior Squad Academy for interested players during the pre season (July-September).

Volunteer involvement

The Club relies on volunteer support from members and supporters.

Awards

Players are eligible to receive Club awards which are determined from the team statistics that are submitted to the Club after each game. Refer Club Trophies and Awards.

Outstanding performances by individual players are also recorded by the Club. Refer Club Records.

Centurions Club

Tradition is very important at the University Cricket Club. The club recognises every player after they have played 100 games for the Club by presenting them with a special “presentation cap”. They are then officially inducted into the Centurions Club. It will take a player approximately seven seasons to reach this milestone.

Refer Club Records.

Club Manager

The Club employs a Manager who is responsible for the control, direction and instruction of anyone employed by the Club and the administration of the Club’s affairs in accordance with the direction given by the elected Board of Management.

Refer Elected Office Bearers >>.

Complaints

Complaints on any matters with the way the club is administered or the conduct of any of its employees, volunteers or members should be referred in the first instance to the Senior Club Captain. If circumstances should not allow this then the complaint should be made directly to the Club Manager.

Under no circumstances shall a member, volunteer or parent directly reprimand an employee of the Club.
