Summer 2025 is looking strong for the Hibiscus Coast Cricket Club, according to club manager Gair McSkimming.
The club has continued its development and success with its first international player Bevon Jacobs selected for the New Zealand 20-20 squad.
“Bevon has been very strong for the Auckland Aces and is on a quick learning curve after also being picked up by the Mumbai Indians for the Indian Premier league,” says Gair.
“We have always known how talented Bevon was, and it’s exciting for the whole club to see his success. When he does come back and play for Hibiscus, he passes on valuable experience and his success rubs off on the others.”
The season has been strong again for the club, making the semi-finial of the Premier 20-20 competition for the second year in a row, and finishing mid-table of the premier 50-over competition. Hibiscus is sitting in second place heading back into the two-day competition that started again on February 8.
The club also has strong numbers with 13 men’s teams and 12 junior teams.
Hibiscus Coast and East Coast Bays both share the same major sponsors in Mitre 10 Silverdale and Mitre 10 Albany, and will play annually for the Riviera cup.
“Without fantastic local sponsors community sport is very difficult and in such difficult economic times we are truly thankful for the support,” Gair says.
