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:
