Poverty Bay cricket coming back strong in the pathway space! Ahead of this week's Rangatahi Youth Girls' Tournament, we are very excited to share that Poverty Bay will be entering teams in all four Rangatahi tournaments this season - a first for many years. Bays Pathway & Talent Coach, Keegan Russell, said: "The Pathways space in Poverty Bay has been steadily gaining momentum over the past few seasons and this season we are shaping up to have four Poverty Bay Pathway Teams competing in the Rangatahi Tournaments. "Courtney and Emma Hayes have been instrumental in providing on the ground support for our next generation of female cricketers after moving into a coaching capacity and Joey Turner [Development Officer in Gisborne] has put in countless hours behind the scenes to help establish a sustainable pathway for players all the way from the grass-roots level. The cricketing community in Poverty Bay is a special one and we're looking forward to seeing where we head moving forward." Follow along with the tournaments: https://lnkd.in/gFWHsvnP #NDtogether

REGIONAL FACILITIES FUND | Round 2 successful applicants 🌱 The second round of the ND Regional Facilities Fund (RFF) saw massive interest, with over twice as many applicants compared to the first round. The RFF was intended to enhance and upgrade existing cricket facilities but also to assist with the construction of new facilities across the region. Between both rounds, a total of 7 brand new facilities and 12 existing facilities were selected for support. Through the investment of the RFF back into the community, ND has assisted projects in our region leading to total project costs of well over $1,000,000. A wonderful result for cricket.
