About Us

 

 

The Merivale-Papanui Cricket Club is located at Edgar MacIntosh Park on Condell Ave in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The club fields 6 mens team, a womens team and several junior sides. The club plays in the Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association competition in a season lasting from October to April each year.

The club was established in 1968 when the Merivale and Papanui (formerly Northcote) Clubs amalgamated. The founding Clubs date back to the 1920's and 30's.

Sawyers Arms Road Park was initally used during the 1968-69 Season. From the 1969-70 Season to the present day Edgar MacIntosh Park has been the home ground to the club. The club also has a subsidiary ground at Bishopdale on Harewood Rd.

The clubrooms were built in 1972 and officially opened on October 5th, 1972. Numerous renovations during following seasons, such as the upstairs extensions in 2000 mean that members now have a great facility to both socialise and view the cricket.

In 2003, the Bar area of the Club was completely refurbished as well as the installation of sliding doors to improve the indoor/outdoor flow into the clubrooms.
