Plunket Shield Championship - Central Stags V Otago

Free admission to see the cauldron of national first-class cricket!

People pay big bucks to watch this in England, but we're all about free admission to see the training ground of test cricket, a hard-fought national red-ball championship that dates back an incredible 118 years.

This is the first Plunket Shield game of the season and a no-frills event but you can take your pick of great viewing from anywhere in the Harris Stand or on the grass bank and bring your lunch, with handy cafes and stores nearby on Latham Street

Live scoreboard to keep you up with the play and follow @centralstags on instagram for the behind the scenes content and updates. Toss on day one is 10am, with gates opening shortly beforehand and livescores at www.cdcricket.co.nz so you can check the state of play anytime before you pop in - and come and go as you please. It's a great way to switch up the scenery for your lunch hour.
