We took 3 mixed ability teams of 8 over to Nelson to compete in the Festival Tournament.

It has been a very long time since MGC took so many players to a tournament. 

Twenty five keen enthusiastic cricketers of various experience (from Marlborough Rep players to newbies to cricket) played in 3 teams. MGC White, MGC Blue and MGC Gold.

They played 3 x 14/14 games against NCG Swarm, NCG Sting and Waimea/Garin. MGC White had 1 win, MGC Blue 2 wins and MGC Gold just missed a win by 2 runs. 

A particular mention needs to go to our captains Neve, Fenella and Tyler along with their co-captains Fillipa, Charlotte and Pania for their excellent leadership with their teams. They showed manaakitanga through all the games by helping, supporting and encouraging players of all abilities so that everyone could be competitive and have fun!. Great job! Ka pai!

Ben Jones, Jan Gallop, Melynda Bentley and Sherri O'Donnell also had a great time as they managed and supported the teams. A very enjoyable day for all!
