CD looking to quickly turn around loss
Lynn McConnell - 11 September 2001

Central Districts cricket has been caught between a rock and a hard place.

It has suffered a $75,218 loss this year, its worst performance in 51 years of existence.

Yet part of the reason for that loss resulted from its success in winning the Shell Cup.

CD executive director Blair Furlong said: "We spent more on the Shell Cup than we did last year, but at least we won it.

"We also invested in our development programme which involved more costs and was lacked the international cricket to make the most of that."

As a result, CD will be taking the opportunity to discuss its situation with New Zealand Cricket at this week's annual meeting at the High Performance Centre at Lincoln University near Christchurch.

Furlong said one significant emphasis in realising more from a financial perspective this year would be maximising the opportunity provided by the One-Day International against England this year.

A number of tour parties are expected for the tour and CD will be looking to work in opportunities with the visitors.

The charitable trust operated by Central Districts is in much better shape with $420,000 which it is hoping to boost to $500,000.

Former New Zealand wicket-keeper and long-time CD identity Ian Colquhoun has been named the association's patron after the death last year of Justice Joe Ongley.

Former CD opening batsman Dermot Payton has been elected president while the management committee is: John Fluker - chairman (Horowhenua), Bob Rankin (Manawatu), Graham Sherlock (Nelson), John Smith (Nelson), Trevor Smith (Taranaki), Viv Stephens (Hawke's Bay), David Townend (Manawatu). Scott Briasco and Graham Morrison did not seek re-election.
