Ben Williams Cricket Academy heading to Auckland Due to an expansion opportunity, we would like to announce that the Ben Williams Cricket Academy will be relocating to Auckland in July 2015. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all past and present BWCA members and participants of our academy for many memorable moments and on-going support. Term 2 training will continue as scheduled in Tauranga. The grass wicket will still be utilised from time-to-time for school holiday clinics so keep an eye on our website for future programmes. We have an exciting new range of programmes in store for the Auckland cricket community and we look forward to working with many of you in Term 3. Check out our website for more information and to register your interest. We will be sad to not have regular contact with our current local members but hope to see a lot of you at our school holiday clinics in Auckland. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your families and wish you all the very best in the future. Best regards, Ben Williams
