Weekend Sport with Jason Pine

Auckland Cricket is officially on the move.
The organisation is set to depart its long-time home at Eden Park and set up shop at Colin Maiden Park in Glen Innes.
It follows the signing of an agreement by Auckland Council, the Crown, Eden Park, Auckland Cricket, and Auckland Rugby that outlines a pathway for modern, permanent, for-purpose facilities for cricket and rugby.
Auckland Cricket Chair Brendon Gibson told Piney that while there are people with differing views, the general concensus is the move is in the organisation’s best interests.
“We’re happy with where we’ve ended up.”
