2024 Alfeco Montrose dream of big night challenge
The tournaments are played over seven weeks as a day-night competition.
The biggest primary schools’ cricket and netball tournaments have finally kicked off on February 2.
With more excitement and dedication, players and parents had the best afternoon and night at the Montrose Night Challenge 2024.
Gwen Nelson, who has been the main organiser of the event for numerous years said, “We had a fantastic opening ceremony, but as usual, lightning came and ruined the party.”
Nelson added that they had to abandon play at 20:30, and the netball has two rounds still to do from the day and will catch these up on the remaining nights.
“Cricket has two catch-up innings which will be played on Monday afternoon.”
