Bringing CD women's cricket together
A chance for emerging players from throughout CD to make their name and impress selectors, the inaugural Central Super League launched in October 2020
It saw the introduction of four new franchise teams - New Plymouth Power, Tararua Kotahi, Palmerston North Tui and Coastal Challengers Levin with the initial season providing two one-day matches in November, followed by four rounds of T20 in February to decide the inaugural crown
In the event weather did not play ball with Round 2 one-dayers in November 2021 washed out. It was agreed the T20s would be contested as a fresh set of points. Undefeated, the Coastal Challengers Levin lifted the inaugural title and again defended it unbeaten in the all-T20 second edition of the League in November 2021
While our CSL franchises are town-based, the composition of each team is decided by an annual player draft. 48 names go into the hat, including players from Masterton to Marlborough, Nelson to Napier In addition, WHITE FERNS as marquee players provide each franchise with experience and leadership
The CSL therefore creates the opportunity for the best women from all eight of CD's District Associations to compete against each other, as all endeavour to win selection to CD Women's U19 and Central Hinds squads and beyond
Proudly sponsored by John Turkington Forestry, the Central Super League replaced CDCA's Women's Districts T20 competition of previous seasons
