The "Ashes" are played for annually between the University Premier vs Ellerslie Premiers whenever they meet in a two day game. The trophy is a replica of the famous urn played between Australia and England. Following the 2009-10 season when the University and Ellerslie Premier teams played as a combined side, the bails used in the final match were burned and the ashes sealed in the urn.
November 2010 - Ellerslie won on 1st innings
March 2011 - University won outright
