Welcome to the Eastern Suburbs Junior Cricket Club
IMPORTANT NOTICE (March 18, 2020)
Amid COVID-19 Cricket Wellington along with all other major associations have been advised to cancel all community/club cricket for the remainder of the season. NZC have released a statement as per below and Cricket Wellington only see fit to follow suit of this. As you may have seen in the media other sporting codes are approaching this in the same manner by cancelling matches that have been scheduled. This is an extremely unfortunate way to end the season however with COVID-19 impacting sporting events around New Zealand we feel this is the safest outcome to protect the virus from potentially spreading.
NZC Statement
New Zealand Cricket, in conjunction with its Major and District Associations, have agreed to cancel community cricket, including clubs, schools, programmes and training, for the rest of the season. This decision follows our most recent medical advice and recognises our obligations towards the New Zealand cricket family and the wider public interest. Based on expert advice from New Zealand Cricket’s Chief Medical Officer Dr Martin Swan and recent government information we want to ensure that cricket is acting to pre-emptively supress the spread of coronavirus.
While cricket is a non-contact sport there are considerable measures that need to be in place to adhere to expert advice around reducing the risk of spreading the virus. Our focus specifically is on minimising the risk and impact on the cricket community and ensuring health and well-being is our highest priority. New Zealand Cricket is working with our Associations to ensure we collectively provide ongoing support to local clubs and the wider cricket community during this challenging and disruptive time.
To confirm, all Senior & Junior cricket will not go ahead for the 2019/20 season affectively closing the season as of today.
This decision hasn’t been made without debate or discussion with NZC and other MA’s however we have come to the conclusion that the health and safety of players within Wellington are protected and we would appreciate your cooperation on this at this time.
Please also note the following due to the above:
Prize Giving’s – As per direction from NZC and CW, we would advise that all planned Prize Giving’s from your clubs are to be cancelled.
