JANUARY 2026 FESTIVAL
Knowing for some that getting advance notice of events helps with getting leave booked we are happy to confirm that the NEW YEAR 7 FESTIVAL for current Year 6 (2024) players will be held at Mandeville in North Canterbury from the 12th to the 14th of January 2026.
The CJCA will enter as many teams as we get enrolments – for last year we had 4 teams but have had up to 5 previously.
This Festival will be played on 18m pitches be 9 a-side conventional cricket with a “Grace Period” for the first 2 days and NO “grace period” on the final day as we look to move these players towards consequence cricket. We require managers/coaches to be with each team – again umpires are provided
