Kia ora ECB Whānau, The first half of the season has flown by, and it’s been fantastic to see so much enthusiasm, growth, and team spirit across the club. From our youngest players to our senior teams, everyone has contributed to a strong and positive start to the year. We hope you had a wonderful holiday, enjoying some well-earned time with family and friends. We’ll be back on the diamond before we know it, refreshed and ready for an exciting second half of the season. 🌞🥎 We’re proud to have players representing North Harbour, with our U19 Boys and Girls teams competing over the weekend and putting in strong performances. Congratulations to Zach Adkins on being named to the U19 Boys Tournament Rest Team. This weekend, our U17 Boys head to Hamilton and our U17 Girls to Palmerston North — best of luck to all ECB players selected. Season Restart Dates - if you know you are going to be away over the next play weekends, please let your coaches know so they can ensure the team has enough players.
Save the date: ECB Team Photos will be held on Wednesday 18 February. Team times will be confirmed shortly. In this newsletter:
