JTS Super Series

JT Sparling Super Series

During the season Grafton is involved with a number of other local cricket clubs in a series of representative matches, officially known as the JT Sparling Super Series, or affectionately the "Super Series", or often just "Rep Cricket".

The Super Series competition has arisen primarily from a desire to coordinate interclub fixtures and create more regular and consistent competition between the 5 largest Auckland clubs which will provide the junior cricketers with additional opportunities to play against each other

When

Held on Sundays, teams from Grade 4 to Under 13 are involved in mixed or girls-only competitions.
