Get ready for an action-packed day of cricket tomorrow, Friday 3rd January, at Kennards Hire Community Oval, Eden Park. It’s Retro Round, and our ACES and HEARTS will be throwing it back with their classic kits for a double-header that’s not to be missed – and the best part? FREE ENTRY for everyone!

The day begins with the HEARTS taking on the Magicians at 12:40 PM, followed by the ACES facing the Kings at 4:25 PM.

No changes for the HEARTS this week as they aim to bounce back from a tough loss at Molyneux Park against the Otago Sparks.

The ACES welcome back Bevon-John Jacobs after his stint with the BLACKCAPS, with Nikith Perera making way for this game. Should he be selected for the playing XI, it’ll be Bevon’s debut for the ACES in T20.

It’s been a frustrating Super Smash season so far for the ACES with two washouts, and they’re hungry to register their first win. Martin Guptill is back in form, leading the charge with a brilliant 31 off 23 balls in their last outing against the Volts before the rain.

We can look forward to an incredible atmosphere at Retro Round, with players sporting their classic kits and both teams fired up to deliver outstanding performances. With FREE ENTRY, this is the perfect opportunity for people to bring their friends and family along for a day to remember.

We’re anticipating a fantastic crowd, so come early, grab a spot, and cheer on your HEARTS and ACES as they battle it out on home turf. The games will be live on TVNZ’s Duke.
