The Baywide over-35 cricket league is making a return this summer in a bid to get retired players back into the game.
The over-35 league starts tomorrow afternoon with five teams entered including Rotorua, Cadets (Tauranga), Te Puke, Opotiki and Mount Maunganui.
Rotorua begin their season tomorrow at the Tauranga Domain where they face off against Cadets.
Rotorua will field a combined team of former players from a number of Rotorua clubs, some of which no longer exist.
Bay of Plenty Cricket manager Mark Webb said the new league had been established to get former competitive club players back into cricket.
