Promising coach adds to winning success
You’re a long time coaching and I’ll probably get better with age. Chad Law
Former Horowhenua-Ka¯piti cricket captain Chad Law has made a good fist of his foray into coaching since hanging up his playing whites at the end of last season.
Teams he was coaching this summer had posted some impressive results, in what had been a dream honeymoon period.
Law was head coach of the Central Districts Under-19 boys’ team that last week took out the national one day competition for the first time in history, after finishing second to Canterbury
last season.
He had coached the Levin Old Boys senior club side to victory in the 20/20 Coastal Cup late last year, while the Horowhenua-Ka¯piti Bears men’s representative team had just managed a third-placed finish in the
Furlong Cup behind Manawatu¯ and Taranaki.
Law also coached a CD Under-18 team in a one-off three day game in Napier. The 32-year-old former top batsmen said he was throughly enjoying the new coaching roles, but wasn’t getting carried away with ambition just yet.
“I’m just really enjoying it. You’re a long time coaching and I’ll probably get better with age. I’ve got the mindset that you’re always learning. “We’ll see where it goes.”
In what was turning into a vintage season for the Central Districts association, the women’s Under-19 team won their competition, too.
