2023 Ford Trophy Grand Final • Central Stags v Canterbury

Free admission Ford Trophy Grand Final cricket for the Hawke's Bay public! Top qualifiers the Central Stags and Canterbury were originally scheduled to contest the national Final in February, but the Stags were unable to travel after Cyclone Gabrielle hit. Now these arch rivals are coming to Napier to support Hawke's Bay with a rescheduled fundraiser match, as the long-running one-day trophy goes on the line for 2023. It's been a long time since a national cricket final was played at McLean Park!

Yes, it's a Tuesday - sorry folks, the only date possible at this busy time of year but free entry means you can pop in any time, bring your lunch or come in after work to see history made! Please support our community: bring a cash donation as there will be a bucket collection at the ground for official cyclone relief. For those unable to be with us in Napier, there will be a free NZC multicamera livestream with live commentary to watch the big clash with the Cantabs for the NZ one-day title at www.cdcricket.co.nz.
