Liston College
Liston is a Catholic boys secondary school in West Auckland. They requested funding for coaching in terms four and one with that person to develop a cricket program for year seven and eight boys. We have granted $4,000 to cover 16 weeks of coaching. Natascha van Tilsburg We have again provided $800 for Natascha’s coaching with Kit Perera. Natascha is an exciting prospect as a right hand bat and last year made the Auckland Hearts team. Naenae Cricket Club We have committed $10,000 to the Naenae cricket club in Wellington on the recommendation of Naenae and QSCC stalwart Aaron Klee. The club has a comprehensive business plan to employ a full-time Cricket Development Officer (CDO) to deliver coaching programs to juniors, schools and the community. Waitakere CC Like many clubs, Waitakere in West Auckland has some funding gaps this year. We have granted $14,400 for the employment of two CDOs to implement their school programs. The two students are both club members. The school fields seven teams and requested help with supplying balls for the season as their usual funding not available. The Committee approved their request for $5,000 covering eight dozen balls.  Peter Robb from V Net has kindly donated two nets to the QSCC which we have arranged to go to St Pauls College. Here we have Peter, coach Dion Nash and the First X1 players trying them out! Thank you Peter, what a generous donation. They will be put to good use!
As the summer approaches our flock of schools, clubs, players and coaches are all starting up their programs and activities. It has, in my view, been a watershed year for the QSCC in terms of activities and engagement. We have had some great projects to support, and several new ones emerging. We have given or pledged around $70,000 in the year to date. This is in addition to the large amount of gear that we have re-distributed from the generosity of Players Sports...
