Costs

Entries are taken and a draw for Zone 8 is normally completed by the end of Term Four for Term One of the following year. Otago Cricket is responsible for the Gillette Cup draw.

NZCT SS Junior Boys National Cricket Competition (Year 9) is played over a cricket season as opposed to a calendar year. The aim is to determine an Otago/Southland winner by Xmas. The winner progresses to a National final with seven other teams in March (Summer Tournament Week) of the following year. As with Gillette Cup most expenses are met by NZ Cricket.
