In the Pearce Cup, Eastern Suburbs will be looking for their third straight title. However, they will have to do without the services of seamer Paul Hitchcock who has moved to Auckland to further his first-class and international claims. They are also unlikely to see much of Stephen Fleming during a busy international campaign.

Their closest challengers may again be Onslow who were second by only two points last season. They will be strengthened by the arrival of prolific first-class batsman Michael Parlane from Northern Districts who joins his brother Neal at the club.

Petone-Riverside have returned to the Pearce Cup after an all-conquering season in Hazlett Trophy. They were convincing winners by nearly forty points, and replace Hutt Districts in the top grade. North City win promotion into the Hazlett Trophy after winning Senior 2 last summer. They will replace Hutt Districts second eleven.

Naenae won last seasons womens competition.

Play for all grades commence on the 25th of October 2003 and finishes for the Christmas break on the 20th of December. Club cricket resumes on the 10th January 2004 and finishes on the 27th of March.
