Welcome to PBCA!

We have made the decision that Friday evening cricket will not proceed this Friday due to the fading light. We originally though we would get through but in recent night the light is fading real fast with sunset at 5.45pm. Proceeding with it could also compromise player safety in term of the car park area with young players flying around in the gloom. We have had a great run and not missed one Friday all season apart from this last one.

Saturday Morning and Intermediate cricket will also not proceed this Saturday due to the start of Rugby where teams will be diluted. Initially last week was the end date however we extended it out 1 week due to player entries slow in come from some schools. Rugby based their decisions on cricket finishing on the 5^th of April.

The Cricket players have had a fantastic run of weather this summer, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your efforts in promoting Cricket over the season, without your support it would not happen.

Regards

David McDonald

Mission Statement
To build a strong and sustainable base that consistently develops competitive teams and individuals.

The Poverty Bay Cricket Association has a rich and proud background since being formed in 1890.

The association produced their first New Zealand representative in 1914, in Len McMahon. Another eight players went on to wear the silver fern.
Double All Black Bill Carson and two of the country’s outstanding players John Wright and Geoff Howarth donned the dark blue cap of Poverty Bay. Poverty Bay won minor cricket’s major trophy, the Hawke Cup in the 1918-19 season and defended the Cup four times.

International sides visited the district including Australia in 1913-14, 1927-28 and 1956-57, MCC 1935-36, Fiji 1947-48, 1953-54, 1961-62 and 1967-68 and Pakistan in 1978-79. Sri Lanka visited in the Association’s centenary season but unfortunately inclement weather meant not a ball was bowled in the four day fixture. Poverty Bay hosted their initial first class game in 1973-74 and has run another 23 fixtures plus many one day matches.

The Association has an outstanding first class ground in the Harry Barker Reserve and five superb pitches and a top class pavilion. The ground is regarded as one of the best facilities in hosting numerous Northern District Tournaments including National Tournaments and First Class Fixtures over the years. Poverty Bay is part of the Northern District Association and has nurtured many Northern District representatives.
