By the early 1970s, Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club found itself on the cusp of something brave. The long, 67-year stint at Hagley Park – all those windy Saturdays, all those familiar walks past the old pavilion – came to an end in 1972–73 when the West Christchurch/University side folded into the emerging Burnside club.

Burnside became a working bee. Volunteer tradies, parents, players – half the suburb, really – rolled up their sleeves and set about transforming a modest changing shed into a proper pavilion of brick and timber.
