With final games played last month, Hibiscus Coast Cricket Club is very satisfied with its first season in the top grade in one day and T20 competition.
The men’s premier team finished in the middle of the table in the one-day (Richard Jones Cup) and 7th in T20. Club manager Gair McSkimming says it’s a positive start.
Highlights for the season include back-to-back wins over Birkenhead and Ellerslie. Coast also chased down Waitakere’s 274/4 at home on March 19, winning the game with 276/2.
This included a 151 not-out knock by 19-year-old Bevon-John Jacobs. All-rounder Ramesh Lakmal finished fourth in the Richard Jones Cup player rankings.
McSkimming says bringing premier quality games to Victor Eaves Reserve was also a highlight – and the ground itself received a lot of praise from umpires.
The final game of the season was also the swansong for fast bowler Brad Norris, pictured front centre, who was farewelled in style. He is heading to the UK after playing 150 games for the club.
