The 2024 / 2025 season prizegiving was held on the 2nd April 2025 at Haere-Roa, University of Canterbury and included all the teams from Div 4 girls to Premier Women including families.
We were fortunate to have some of our Canterbury Cricket Magician players in attendance with Gabby Sullivan speaking about her cricket journey and answering some tricky questions from the room. Gabby was also recently named to play for the Cook Islands Women’s side in an upcoming Kartini Cup held in Bali in April 2025.
