March 18 2020 - UPDATE - the below EVENT is cancelled due to Covid-19
We're used to him captaining New Zealand Croatia, but our founder member and past president Joey Yovich has elected to bat for the other team in our first New Zealand Croatia-Cobham Cricket Club T20 doubleheader at Cobham Oval - home of one-eyed Yovich's beloved City Cricket Club.
As the king of Cobham Oval, this will no doubt be a right royal day out in Whangarei with free admission, an amazing line-up full of ex-BLACKCAPS and current and former Northern Districts and other representative players turning out for the Cobham Club, and the side to be coached by ex-BLACKCAPS quick and father-of-Doug, Brendon Bracewell.
Manuleto's Bar will be open in the pavilion and BBQ and refreshments available.
For NZ Croatia, it's an exciting return of this fixture having played Cobham Club at the ground several years ago and now embarking on our first doubleheader with this iconic Northland club.
Check out the Cobham Club selections below, and remember it's free admission so come along to enjoy a free cricket showcase in Northland at this first-class ground with all the amenities of the 'little Lord's' pavilion.
