Major donor and longtime supporter of Hagley Oval passes.

26 August 2024

 
Canterbury Cricket Trust and Hagley Oval are deeply saddened by the passing of Kevin Hickman on Friday, 23rd August 2024.
 
Kevin, alongside his wife Joanna, was a passionate supporter of Hagley Oval. Their generosity as private donors played a pivotal role in ensuring the installation of the Hagley Oval lights. Without their dedication, this project would not have come to fruition, and thousands across our community would have missed out on the joy of night cricket each season.
 
Kevin’s legacy will forever shine through the Hagley Oval Lights, a lasting gift to our cricket community.
 
On behalf of the Canterbury Cricket Trust, Chairman Lee Robinson and Executive Manager Suz Pearce extend their deepest sympathies to Joanna, the Hickman family, and all who had the privilege of knowing Kevin.
