 As a result of all his hard work the club is now seeing the youth moving into the grades and staying with the club.Also the Junior Club has never had so many reps in both the district squads and playing for Auckland, this can only be a plus for the club in the future.Like junior cricket it has always been a tough assignment to get a Ladies Team to be associated with the club but with winning comes recognition and in the early 80's Ellerslie gained a ready made team from ALHA made up of some very good cricketers including past NZ & Auckland reps.
