A BRIEF HISTORY OF HAWERA UNITED            
                        CRICKET CLUB

Cricket in Hawera was founded in 1880 as the Hawera Cricket Club.  Hawera High School Old Boys Cricket Club was formed in the 1920s and Hawera had two cricket clubs until 1985 when the two clubs merged to become Hawera United

Before construction of the new pavilion this year the club was based in the old pavilion at the far end of King Edward Park that was built in conjunction with the Hawera Hockey Club in 1976.

There are approximately 60 club members playing in four afternoon grade teams.  The Hawera United Premier team are the reigning Taranaki One Day champions while the Senior team held both the One and Two day titles up until last year where they again made both finals.  The 'Hi Towers' are a dominant force in the South 2nd Grade championship and were the 06/07 Taranaki 2nd Grade champions after defeating the top North 2nd grade team.  The HHS 3rd grade team continues to be an excellent nursery for players going onto higher honours.

                             THE HUB

The 2008/09 season sees the changing face of our home grounds of King Edward and Hicks Park with the development of the 'Hub', a new community based complex embracing several local and sporting groups.  An upgraded pavilion and new practise and playing facilities gives the chance for players and spectators alike to enjoy top class facilities
