• U17 Boys : This squad will consist maily of players who excelled during the previous season including performances for school teams.
• U15 Boys : This squad will consist maily of players who excelled during the previous season including performances for school teams.
• U14 Boys : This squad will consist maily of year 7 players from the previous season plus exceptional talent from year 6.
• Secondary School Girls (1 team) : This squad will consist maily of players who excelled during the previous season.
• U15 Girls (1 team) : This squad will consist maily of players who excelled during the previous season.

Players are selected on merit to take part in the Auckland Cricket Association District Tournaments over December of each year.

Primary School Tournament

The highlight of the representative season for HPCC is the hosting of the annual Primary School Boys District Tournament at Lloyd Elsmore Park between Christmas and New Year. This District Tournament acts as a pivotal selection tournament for the Auckland Cricket under 14 age group.

The week is contested in an A and B section, with Manukua competing against Central, Eastern, Western, North Harbour Black and North Harbour Burgundy. This is a special tournament in that it is the first time for many of these young cricketers to represent their district and pit their skills against one another, with the ultimate goal of selection for one of the two Auckland teams at the end of the week.

Last years tournament (07/08) ran like clockwork with all the participating clubs expressing their appreciation. Kaushik Patel ACA High Performance Manager stated in his closing address that Howick Pakuranga Cricket Club's organisation of this tournament is amongst the best in the country.

Tournament History

The Christmas Tournament began originally in 1952 when seven Auckland Clubs joined with Northland in an eight team inter-district competition.

Standards improved rapidly and the format was soon changed to a two-section competition with section winners contesting a final. There were no significant changes until 1977 when the current six district 'A' and 'B' competitions were introducted.

Since then there have been a number of changes in the organisation of Junior District Cricket in Auckland. The current structure is a reversion to the District structure introduced in 1977 but now comprises only five districts, the Southern District having ceased to exist and the clubs now making up the manukau District. In 2001 the tournament format was fully aligned with the playing conditions for the regional tournament which follows this Tournament.

Up to the beginning of this, 57th Christmas Tournament the 'A' Section has been won By: Eastern (24), Grafton (3), Northland (1), Eden-Roskil (1), Papatoetoe (3), Cornwall (5), North Harbour (7), Central (8), South Eastern (6), Manukau District (1). The title has been shared on thirteen occassions.
