Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it is a rainy Saturday morning almost on Q,
isn't it his summer sporting codes starts for their seasons.
Now we're going to focus on club cricket, where the
premiere grades beginning for the summer from next week now.
There have been a few changes for the season, particularly
for the majority of the men's senior grades, So to
chat a bit about that and look at the season ahead,
I'm joined in studio by Cricket Wellington's competitions manager Matt Wilson.
(00:24):
Morning to you, Matten. Are excited to have cricket back
underway after the winter.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, absolutely, good to be back. Always feels like a
long winter, but cricket season is definitely here again. As
you say, the weather not great this week, but there
is nothing we can do about that, so we plod on, as.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They say, absolutely and things ramping up for most of
the grades next weekend, is it. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
So next weekend's our opening week with our top sort
of four four men's grades that start out our Premiere
one and two and our Premier Reserve one and two.
So they get underway next weekend with their T twenty
competition with back to back games at numerous grounds around
the region.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Great, How are they looking up? You know, it's always
a debate around you know, artificial patches versus the grass stuff.
How things looking this early stage of the season.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, So we always start on artificials for the first
month in October, just to give councils that time to
do their renos and get grass ready. Obviously the sooner
we get grass the better, But majority of that T
twenty comp will be played on artificials. Yeah, at pretty
much every ground.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah. Brilliant and player numbers, team numbers as you approached
the season, how things looking compared to say, last year, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I mean, obviously we're still moving through that registration period,
particularly with juniors, but the senior team numbers particularly are
tracking well. Not a massive increase at the stage with
our senior teams, but definitely on par with last year.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Is that what you target? Do you target growth? Do
you target to stay the same?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
What is cricket Wellington's kind of aim in that space?
I think we always target growth.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
We want you know, at the end of the day,
our job is to have as many people in Wellington
playing and loving the game of cricket, So we're always
looking to increase those numbers teams and player numbers junior, youth, senior,
so you're definitely always the goal and.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
People that are listening that are playing men's crickets and
well the top sort of you know, many grades. Well,
we'll know that there's a big change that's been happened
in the off season. Can you explain the rationale for
that and what we're saying come next weekend? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Sure, so. Yeah, our senior senior men's comp's gone under
a bit of a review and a revamp over the
winter months, and I guess the starting point for that
was a big review that was done through and our
advisory group and consultation with our premiere players and our
clubs on sort of the state of our competition, particularly
at the top at Pears Cup and has trophy level,
(02:43):
and we did have a fairly convoluted system in place
for anyone on the outside looking in with that different
sort of promotion relegation across the formats of one and
two day cricket. So I guess we've tried to use
the language that we're going to have a a reset
here and get back two grades where it's just one
(03:04):
and you're in the same grade for the full year
basically for one and two day cricket and the T
twenty to start. So with that in mind, we've increased
our Peas Cup, our top division in men's club cricket
and Wellington from six teams to eight teams with the
two clubs coming in there that wouldn't have been in
Victoria University and po Tony Riverside. So they come into
(03:24):
the Peers Cup with the teams that were in there
for last year. Our Hazlit Trophy that stays at six teams. However,
if you do the maths where we'd only had four
with that change to the eight and the Pears. So
we're bringing up Wellington Collegians they get back into the
big time and a debut for the Shrilnkan Sports Club
who will be joining our HAZLT competition this year.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Great awesome. So how does it We've obviously seen trophies
handed out through the seasons and all the different formats
in the last you know, for as many years as
that's been going on for how does it work. Will
team still be rewarded for T twenties for fifty overs
or is it one big competition at the end of
the season yep.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So we'll still award trophies throughout the season for each format,
and we'll start with the t twenty, move into the
one day and then the two.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Days, so yeah, every grade.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
We'll still have trophies on the line for each individual format,
but of course the big one will still be at
the end of the season, the overall, particularly the Pest
Cup competition which has played for on overall points, and
once again that'll be the big deal at the end
of the season.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't know. A few clubs at this point of
a season do a bit of travel. They go to
some other tournaments and things, house thing looks. Things looking
for everyone being in Wellington at the start of the
season next week, yeah, I think pretty good.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We do have a few that like to get up
to Hawk's Bay where the weather generally is a bit
better for that can absolutely not no, no, it's definitely
a more desirable climate I think than Wellington, and also
in other parts of the country. If we look at
places like Hawks Bay, they get because of the climate,
they get their grass Wicke. It's available a lot earlier
than us. We all know what it's like here and
(04:52):
it just takes a little bit longer, but yeah, I
think everyone will be ready to go next week back
in the region and ready to start playing cricket and
Wellington and so it's going to be really exciting. It's
always exciting at the start of the season to see
how things shape up, and I think even more so
this year with the changes that we're making.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, just back to that restructure. I guess when you
said it's about sort of, you know, making a bit
more clear of the situation further. You know, what was
when you look right back to when you thought, let's
have a think about this, was what was the sort
of one thing you wanted to get out of a
big change like this.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I think a competition that just aligned from the top
through those those top six or seven senior grades in
terms of formats being played, white ball, red ball, and
obviously a big part of what we're here to do
is to try and find the next Firebirds, Blaze or
black Cap, and having a competition that aligns is better
(05:43):
for our pathways. It now enables those players that I
guess come in from college that may start in a
reserve team or a third eleven, there's a pathway there
for them to progress through into the Premiere side, and
we felt that if those top sort of five or
six grades are playing the same formats a cracker training
in the same format of cricket, that's going to help
(06:04):
them in that development space in terms of being a
cricketer and have ambitions to go on and play at
a higher level. So if we can have a club
competition that is aligned in that respect, I think that's
going to be a good thing moving forward.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And we obviously talk prem one and two cricket during
the summer. How this promotion relegation work going forward.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, would have largely run very similar to what it
did with the bottom team being relegated from each grade,
but on combined points, so you're not relegated based on format,
and that'll run right from Premiere one down through Premier
Reserve and into the senior grades.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah. And do you think clubs will approach things slightly
differently now that is a collective rather than a single format.
Teams certainly have peaked and white ball or red bull
stuff over the last few seasons.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't know if they'll change your approach too much
to how they're playing over the course of the season.
I think you still have those pockets where you're playing
one format and then you move on to the next one.
But they probably will be a little bit more aware
that maybe a bit more consistency needs to be applied
across all formats rather than one. There's a lot more
points on the line in our two day competition, for example,
(07:08):
compared to one in one day in T twenty, so
it might be a case of not leaving things to
the last month or two to get your points. You
might need to look at the wider season and making
sure you're getting wins right the way through.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Nineteen past eight, it's the l Spot Breakfast Tier are
Wellington's News Talk ZB and we are looking ahead to
the club cricket season, which for senior grades begins for
the men next weekend and studio with us this suning
is Cricket Wellington's competition's manager Matt Willson. Matt, we talked
about the changes coming to the men's senior grades just
before the break. Let's go to the women's side of things. Obviously,
(07:51):
when you look at this Blaze team, they're very successful
Wellington Blaze cricket team we have now and you look
at the new players that have emerged over the last
few years. They are really the players that have shined
through club cricket over the last few years, so great
to see the pathways are working. Any changes in the
women's competitions this year, Matt, like we've seen for the.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Met Yeah, so there hasn't been too much change there.
We felt that it's a pretty competitive competition in particularly
in women's Division one and the two formats they play
of forty over cricket and T twenty, So that competition
is shaping up nicely with the same six clubs again
who also will have their reserve teams in Division two.
So we'll start there with the T twenty to begin,
but it will be a split like we had last year,
(08:33):
so a little bit of T twenty. We'll then move
into a few rounds of forty overs and then back
to the T twenty to finish, and then forty overs
for the rest of the year. But that's looking really good.
I think last year we saw a couple of more
teams in the conversation. If we go back before that,
it was very much a North City and Patoni dominated competition.
I think last year we saw Johnsonville come into the mix,
(08:53):
which was nice to see and it was a bit
more of a three horse race rather than two horse racing.
And who knows this year we might have an Upper
or a City Suburbs or a Collegians, which of course
the other three teams potentially in that conversation too, So
again really excited to see how that women's comp develops.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Great and in just in terms of the wider cricket scene,
we've still got the same number of grounds available, same
number of pictures as that changed much around much around
the region over the winter.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Unfortunately, we have lost a couple pre Christmas, but that's
just due to some scheduled maintenance work that's going on.
Some new drainage is being installed at Pa Tony Reck
and to Fitty Park out in the Hut Valley, so
that'll actually take out quite a number of our grass
wickets until January. But that's a problem for me to
work around rather than anyone else, so I'll find a
(09:39):
way of piecing that together pre Christmas, and all the
clubs are aware of that, so for Potoni in particular,
it'll be difficult that I have to play away from
home to start the year. But as always, whenever there's
a ground closure, we find a way, but outside of that,
everything in Wellington is available this year, so yeah, we
will make sure everyone get it's out on a pitch
(10:01):
every week.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm sure you will. And I know last year some
of the top teams and big games were able to
utilize the base in reserve. Is that a work in
progress for this year? I know a lot of the
players enjoyed having the chance to play the old final there.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, I think it's always the first question I asked
when planning begins in May for the new season is
when's the basically going to be available? When can we
get on that ground? And once again we've got plans
to have the women's fight T twenty final there again
in January we've got a free slot with the men's
Peers Cup. Unfortunately that the dates don't quite marry up
this year with I believe some white films fixtures at
(10:34):
the ground about the same time, So the Peerce Cup
will finally will go to a community ground of this year.
But of course, you know we've always looking at different
ways of utilizing the venue and there'll be a few
things happening over the course of the season outside of
our domestic and international commitments.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Awesome and I know last year we spoke a bit
at the start about umpires and promoting. That is a
great way to get involved in club cricket. If you're
like me and an untalented cricketer, you can you can
stand out in the middle and be an umpire. I
know that's growing, has it? Matt? Yeah? Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
We had a really good year last year in terms
of growth in that space. When I came into managing
the appointment side of things, we didn't have a lot
there and we struggled to sort of fill our top
top few grades, including the women's division one as well.
But last year we had about a seventeen cent increase
in numbers. There a few more active umpires and we
were able to beef out those grades, which was really good.
(11:25):
This year we're looking at similar numbers, so I don't
think we've seen too much growth. We have lost a
couple umpires to places such as christ Just in Dunedin
based on I guess their personal circumstances, but we've also
gained a couple through some training in the winter. So
our Cricket Wellington Umpires and Scorers group are doing some
really good work in that space to keep those numbers
tracking well so we can continue to fill out more
(11:47):
and more grades. But it's definitely a slow burn and
a long term thing.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah. Yeah, it's tough one, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
All Right?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, Matt, all the very best fight a week before
the season proper gets underway. Does he won for you?
I'm sure?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Absolutely, very busy time of year, a lot of demands
on the competition's corner as we call it in the
office at Creiger Wellington. And but yeah, excited as I say,
to get underway next weekend and another summer of summer
of cricket.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Great. Well, I hope this rain we've had these last
few days clears and it's a disruption free start to
the season. I know that's wish. We'll see thanking being
in Wellington in October. But all the very best, looking
forward to chatting each week through the summer Matt, and
thanks for coming in today. Yeah brilliant, Thank you. Cheers Adam.

will finally will go to a community ground of this year.
But of course, you know we've always looking at different
ways of utilizing the venue and there'll be a few
things happening over the course of the season outside of
our domestic and international commitments.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Awesome and I know last year we spoke a bit
at the start about umpires and promoting. That is a
great way to get involved in club cricket. If you're
like me and an untalented cricketer, you can you can
stand out in the middle and be an umpire. I
know that's growing, has it? Matt? Yeah? Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
We had a really good year last year in terms
of growth in that space. When I came into managing
the appointment side of things, we didn't have a lot
there and we struggled to sort of fill our top
top few grades, including the women's division one as well.
But last year we had about a seventeen cent increase
in numbers. There a few more active umpires and we
were able to beef out those grades, which was really good.
(11:25):
This year we're looking at similar numbers, so I don't
think we've seen too much growth. We have lost a
couple umpires to places such as christ Just in Dunedin
based on I guess their personal circumstances, but we've also
gained a couple through some training in the winter. So
our Cricket Wellington Umpires and Scorers group are doing some
really good work in that space to keep those numbers
tracking well so we can continue to fill out more
(11:47):
and more grades. But it's definitely a slow burn and
a long term thing.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah. Yeah, it's tough one, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
All Right?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, Matt, all the very best fight a week before
the season proper gets underway. Does he won for you?
I'm sure?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Absolutely, very busy time of year, a lot of demands
on the competition's corner as we call it in the
office at Creiger Wellington. And but yeah, excited as I say,
to get underway next weekend and another summer of summer
of cricket.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Great. Well, I hope this rain we've had these last
few days clears and it's a disruption free start to
the season. I know that's wish. We'll see thanking being
in Wellington in October. But all the very best, looking
forward to chatting each week through the summer Matt, and
thanks for coming in today. Yeah brilliant, Thank you. Cheers Adam.
