North Harbour Tournament Statistics, Jim Kelly Cup

Hello Boys and Parents

Each year Stephen Jones, who is a previous long-standing Chairperson of North Harbour Cricket, and the current Chair of Cricket at Westlake Boys High School prepares the North Harbour Primary Schoolboys Statistics which includes NH's top results from previous tournaments.

The Statistics are here: http://northharbourcricket.co.nz/PSBoysStats.htm

The NH Results page: http://northharbourcricket.co.nz/PSBoysResults.htm also has the Jim Kelly Cup winner.

Many congratulations to Angus Mckenzie not only for his outstanding tournament performance but his performances over the past two years. He is a very well deserved winner of the Jim Kelly Cup. The Jim Kelly Cup is a NH Trophy awarded to the top performing NH Player at the PSB tournament

Stephen also noted the following batting and bowling highlights in relation to North Harbour this year in contrast to other North Harbour PSB tournaments:

Key Batting Highlights:

· Only three days play this year (generally each year will lose on average one day’s play), yet some outstanding results

· Angus McKenzie with 192 runs – second highest North Harbour tournament total since 2003

· Gray Hardy scored only the second century for North Harbour at this tournament since 2003

· Angus McKenzie batting average of 92 from 3 innings is a new North Harbour record (since we started keeping records in 2003) and Benjamin Beecroft is in third place


Key Bowling Highlights:

· Zakk Finlay 11 wickets second equal highest since 2003. Grant Celliers with 10 is third equal

· Zakk Finlay bowling average of 5.7 is a new record (since 2003). Grant Celliers is in third place

· Zakk Finlay took two 5 wicket bags: 6/18 and 5/23. Toby Robb also had a 5 wicket haul: 6/30


and in relation to the PSB tournament and comparision to performances from boys from other Districts:

A Section:

· Angus scored the most runs for all Districts with Benjamin in third place

· Gray second highest individual score all Districts

· Grant’s 10 wickets is the most at this year’s tournament. Toby Robb in second place.


Development Section:

· Zakk Finlay in first equal place with 11 wickets


Many thanks for Stephen for putting this information together for us.

In regards to my own PSB tournament summary, I will come back to you all once the Auckland selection is confirmed in the "New Year" so I can set things out in just one blog entry!

All enjoy your New Year's Eve.

Injury: Team Changes

It is with real disappointment that I have to announce that Adrian Young will be unavailable for the Burgundy A side for the tournament. Adrian has been a top performer in Club Cricket and for North Harbour in the past few years, and, in my mind, was our second best boy performing boy heading into the tournament.

Adrian has a heel injury that will not allow him to bowl, but he is going to take up an opening batting position in the Burgundy development side. Greg Vukets has been asked to join the Burgundy A side. I am sure both boys will make the most of their respective new opportunities, and, I'm sure we will see Adrian back and firing at the bowling crease before too long.

Craig and Burgundy Coaches.

Results for December 11th

We had a testing day out in the wind at Huapai, picking up one win from four games.

Harbour won the toss and elected to bat.

The top order delivered 25 runs between them which put pressure on our ability to deliver a competitive total. We were all out in the 47^th over for 117.

Mitchell Bremner 39 off 88 balls

Angus McKenzie 24 off 45 balls

Eastern Districts in reply

118 for 3 off 40 overs

We were able to put some pressure on at times but ultimately they were never in danger of losing the game.

Successful wicket takers;

Grant Celliers – 9 overs 1 for 11

Liam Brown – 7 overs 1 for 27

Angus McKenzie – 5 overs 1 for 11

Some really positive contributions – well done boys! A good fight at the end & just a few things to work on if we are going to win these games.

Things to really concentrate on for our next game:

- Bowl fuller & straighter (we bowled far too short)

- Positive running & calling between the wickets

- Discuss our tactical fielding positions

- Deliver much more energy, effort & enthusiasm in the field

A special thank you to Daryl Quinn for coaching the boys whilst I was away.
