If you need a playing shirt for the coming season now would be a good time to order one as there is 6-8 week lead time for a customised shirt https://www.cricketexpress.co.nz/product/burnside-west-cc-(paladin)-junior-playing-shirt/crsiburpajnrshirt.aspx
We’re running indoor pre-season sessions for all Year 7 and 8 players keen to play cricket with Burnside West this coming season.
The sessions will focus on the basics – batting, bowling and fielding, and are a great way to blow off the winter cobwebs, get some early touches in, and reconnect with teammates (or meet new ones). These training sessions will help us get a sense of numbers and where players are at.
The venue is at the Sydenham Indoor Centre which is located beside Sydenham Park at 240 Brougham Street, Christchurch. It is directly behind the Sydenham Bowls Club beside the Sydenham Cricket Pavilion. The centre can be accessed from the path connecting Brougham St to the car park off Johnson Street. https://sydenhamcricket.co.nz/sic/
Indoor Sessions held over 3 Sunday afternoons for 1.5 hours.
