Geocache Description:


Welcome to New Brighton Cricket Club

New Brighton Cricket Club, situated at Rawhiti Domain in Christchurch, is a well-established and beloved institution in the local cricket scene. The club has a long history of fostering cricket talent and community spirit. Over the years, it has grown into a hub for players of all ages, with a strong emphasis on developing junior players alongside its competitive senior teams.

A defining moment in the club’s recent history came in 2015, when a devastating fire destroyed the club's iconic clubhouse. The fire was a huge blow to the club and its members, but their resilience shone through.

The club remains a testament to the strength and spirit of its members, offering a welcoming environment for both players and spectators, and continuing its legacy as one of Christchurch’s most enduring and respected cricket clubs.

You will have to be stealthy during cricket days.
