CNW Senior Competitions – Roster Dates and Information - Update (Thursday, October 10th, 2024)
Cricket Tasmania in conjunction with the CNW Board have now completed rosters for CNW Men’s 1st Grade, Sportspower T20 Competition, Women’s 1st Grade, and Men’s 2nd Grade. These are now live on PlayHQ and can be viewed via the CNW PlayHQ Website and the PlayCricket App.
It is each club's individual responsibility to pass these rosters onto their own councils. Clubs are asked to please do this at their earliest convenience to ensure there are no issues with ground clashes.
Important Notes:
- Roster requests, ground availabilities, and schedules (e.g., Greater Northern Raiders) contribute to complexity.
- Minor changes may occur due to ground availability.
- Clubs will be notified of any changes.
