The club’s manager, Rob Finlayson, says the board of the club met with its bank last week and was told it was happy with the progress the club has made since its financial position was made public in August last year. “They are pleased with the management of

This week marks one year until cricket’s showpiece event rides into town. Nelson’s Saxton Oval will host three games in the ICC Cricket World Cup next year and to mark the begining of the tournment a giant cricket ball with a clock was unveiled at 1903 Square last Thursday. The giant clock countdowns the seconds until the tournament and one was unveiled at each of host cities in New Zealand and Australia. The ceremony also marked the opening of ticket sales for the tournament. The first game to be played in Nelson will be on Monday, February 16, between Ireland and the West Indies. Nelson mayor Rachel Reese offically unveiled the ball which will reside in the customer service centre at Nelson City Council, saying the event was a great chance for local people to head along and be a part of a huge international event. “Even if you’re not cricket fans, this will be a good time to start.” Tickets are as low as $5 for children and $20 for adults.
