Seeking cricket players for social Saturday afternoon cricket
Are you looking to play a summer sport this year? The cricket season is just around the corner starting Saturday October 6.
My name is Kristin and I play for St Albans Cricket Club and run St Albans Phoenix, a men's 40 over Saturday afternoon social cricket team. My club St Albans is on the lookout for players of all ages (girls, women & men 15+) and skills. They are holding an Open Day at the St Albans Cricket Club clubrooms based beside Hagley Oval on Saturday September 28 from 3:15pm (wet or dry) where they will welcome and register all new players to the club.
I am after players to help me rebuild my Phoenix side from the ashes of last season. I'm open to first-time players through to those with more experience who want to play a relaxed and semi-competitive friendly afternoon game of sport.
Leave a message here with the tag #StAlbansPhoenix and I will get back to you. Alternatively check out the website www.stalbanscricket.co.nz... and register there.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
