A big match at McLean as the Central Stags go after defending Plunket Shield champion Northern Districts in this four-day first-class battle.
This is the last home match for the Stags this season, and things are getting tense in the sixth of the eight rounds - be prepared for some first-class fireworks!
It’s free entry every day, with the Plunket Shield celebrating 100 summers of national men’s competition this season.
The Stags have been regular Plunket Shield champions in recent years, more so than any other team and McLean Park is their fortress: pop along any time to spot current and future Test stars showing how to play cricket at its toughest and finest over the course of the hard fought, red-ball match.
Bring lunch or pop out for coffee and consumables on Latham Street. More info, livescores and ground updates at www.cdcricket.co.nz
