Sunday League

What is Sunday League?

Sunday League is a competition run by the Western Bay of Plenty Cricket Association, catering for three age groups - Years 7/8, 9/10 and 11-13.

In its current format there are T20 rounds and finals pre-Christmas and a longer format competition after Christmas.

Sunday League is designed to:

• give players opportunities to play cricket on a grass wicket where possible.
• create or maintain links with clubs as players move through the college years
• allow players to further develop their skills

How are the squads selected?

We are still looking for 3-4 more players for Y9 & 10 Sunday League, please e-mail mmjc.membership@gmail.com 

Firstly, for a player to play Sunday League they must also be in a Saturday team. Sunday League is not intended to be an alternative to regular Saturday junior cricket.

Players are assigned to teams based on a number of factors including:

• current or previous club ties
• school
• location
• family ties
• travel considerations

In consultation with WBOPCA, the teams may also be moderated to try to ensure an even spread of talent and cricketing roles. Sunday League teams can be formed on merit based selection. 

Further information on Sunday League is available on the WBOPCA website.
