Porirua City Junior Cricket Club

Good morning everyone, thanks to the weather gods, cricket is on today! For most of us this is the last match of the season with the girls teams finishing up tomorrow. Go out there and have fun and hopefully we'll bring home more than a few well deserved wins!

Sharing a couple of choice moments from last week - well done Hugo and Isaac for getting Player of the Day for the Rockets! And, here is Onslow giving our chap a fist bump for getting a boundary - demonstrating supreme sportsmanship, great moment!

Go PCJCC! Enjoy your second to last game of cricket this season! 🏏

Well done to the Year 4 Pacers for their win yesterday, no doubt with the contribution of Player of the Day, Ronin. Congratulations Ronin!

Well done to Murdoch (centre), the Yr7 Panthers Player of the Day, for smashing bowling this morning! And well done and huge thank you to Syon (left) and Asher (right) for stepping up from the Yr6 Dragons to fill a couple of spots in the team. Well done boys!

We are on teams! Go PCJCC!

Superstars is cancelled today folks 🌧 🌧 🌧

Thanks for coming along for team photos, a bash of cricket and a sausage tonight. Special thanks to the coaches and managers for helping the teams to run through smoothly. Great to see you all!

It's looking good for our team photos and BBQ this afternoon! See you there!

Get ready for Hawkes Bay next season, the dates are out now!

Congratulations to Isaac from the Yr 4 Pacers for being chosen as Player of the Day by Onslow yesterday. Well done young man!

We're on! Good luck out there PCJCC and have fun!!

Our very own Rockets and Raptors faced off yesterday, ably captained by Liam and Sammy (pictured). Most valuable players were Alex (awarded by Raptors), Michael, Thomas (awarded by Rockets) and Nathan. Well done!

The Yr5 Heats played a great game yesterday against Johnsonville, really squeezing the runs out of every ball! Well done to Charlie for getting player of the day from both the opposition and his own team, recognizing his honesty on the field (even though it lost him a wicket) and excellent batting and bowling, coming away with a boundary and a wicket. Well done Charlie!

Coaches- it's up to you this morning! 🌀🌀

This week sees four of our female players competing at the year 6-8 and year 9-10 Hawkes Bay tournaments. So far the teams are unbeaten with good growth shown by the players. They’re also staying at Woodford House having a great time - I believe the pool helps! Pictured are Georgia, Grace and Aaliya.

Our very own alumni, Emma Parker, has been named in Aotearoa's first Maori Wahine cricket team along with Blaze players Jess, Caitlin and Nicole. We are super proud of them all, go team!!

Go well Jess, Annika and Georgia
