Papanui HS and Burnside HS – Gillette Tournament Trials
The Gillette Tournament is a nationwide 1st XI school tournament which is run every year in New Zealand. It starts with regional qualifiers to decide the school team to go through to represent the region.
Canterbury is split into regions, and Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket operate the tournament for the city schools. They have a “pre-tournament” for the less stronger schools – Cashmere, Papanui, Hillmorton, Burnsides etc on the 15th and 16th of February – the winner to go through to the next round to meet the next schools (CBHS, St Bedes, StAC etc).
