We would like to applaud the wonderful efforts of our 2020 Heaton Girls’ Cricket team, who finished the season with a perfect record to claim the Nationals title in Palmerston North.

Our squad of 13 players worked extremely hard throughout the year to qualify for nationals, playing seven 20/20 games to earn their place in the prestigious final tournament. Eleven players travelled for the final stage of the competition, representing out school with great pride and playing some spectacular team cricket.

Congratulations to all participants on a wonderful achievement, and a huge thank you to coach Barry, Mrs Edge and parents/caregivers for their support in making this opportunity happen for our young cricketers.

For the outbound flight from Christchurch, all students are required to meet Mrs Edge and Barry promptly at 8:30am by the Air NZ check in desk.

Flight #	Date	From	To	Depart	Arrive
NZ5180	18 November 2020	Christchurch	Palmerston North	10.00am	11.15am
NZ5181	21 November 2020	Palmerston North	Christchurch	10.00am	11.40am

Baggage:

Students will be provided with a Heaton sports backpack for their carry on items, and are able to check in a personal cricket bag and small checked clothing bag. Please place as many items in your cricket bag as you can, as the checked in bag must be a soft-shell style (no suitcases). With the limited flight schedules and small plane, this is very important. If your clothes bag fits inside your cricket bag, even better!

Arrival at Palmerston North:

Upon arrival at Palmerston North (E.T.A of 11:15am), our Heaton team will be transported directly to the cricket grounds via a super shuttle. Once at the grounds Mrs Edge and Barry will collect the rental van keys from the Waihi School team manager, and will attend a managers/coach meeting.

First Game, Opening Ceremony and Players Dinner:

The first game is scheduled to take place at 2:00pm on Wednesday 18th November, so our Heaton team will not be settling into their accommodation prior to this match. At the conclusion of the first match, NZ cricket host a short opening ceremony for the six schools in attendance, followed by a players BBQ dinner.

Based on the finishing time of our first match and start time of the opening ceremony, Mrs Edge will make a decision about whether our Heaton team will check in to our accomodation before the evening events commence.

Accommodation:

Our team will be staying at the the Massey Manawatu Halls (Massey University). This is located on the Cnr of University Ave and Rehab Road. The accommodation includes bedding, linen, towels, tea/coffee making facilities, single sex bathrooms (each with lockable shower/sink/toilet), WIFI, communal hub (lounge and dining area) and a fully equipped self catered kitchen.

At the time of our booking there are no other groups on site, apart from two other girls’ cricket teams competing in the tournament (which will be allocated in a different wing). All rooms have key access and guests need a fob to access the main doors.

Resources and Additional Information:

It was an absolute pleasure to be involved with our four Heaton cricket teams that competed in the 2020 CJCA Christchurch Cricket Championships. There was a brilliant atmosphere at Hagley Park, with Heaton entering two competitive teams, and two development teams. The improvements from all of our players involved was fantastic to witness! All of our Heaton teams played an attacking and entertaining style of cricket, supported one another, and developed more confidence. We also had some amazing individual achievements with some students recording half centuries, an unbeaten century and two hat tricks!

Our Heaton Boys development team finished the tournament with an impressive 2 wins from 4 matches, and our Heaton Girls development team finished with a perfect 5 wins from 5 matches. Our Boys 1st XI team lost a nail biter to St Thomas school, and won the remaining 3 fixtures to finish fifth out of twelve teams. Our Heaton Girls 1st XI continued their spectacular recent form with three comprehensive wins against Cobham, ChCh South and STAC, to win the tournament and progress as Christchurch Champions.

I would like to thank coach Barry V.B and Miss Caygill for the continued and amazing support, guidance and encouragement they have provided our teams for the duration of this term. I would also like to recognise all of those caregivers who could make it down to Hagley to provide their support over the four tournament days.
