Cricket
Cricket at EGGS is open to competitive players and beginners - all are welcome. Generally two teams are entered into the College Sport Competition in Term 1 and Term 4 and experienced coaches are contracted to support players in their development. We have a competitive team that plays in the Premier Grade and our 2nd XI team is our learn-to-play team. We also have a training only option for those learning to play cricket, that do not want to enter into competition.
EGGS has a proud history in the sport with two alumni currently playing in the Auckland Hearts, one of whom is T20 World Champion Mollie Green!
