Gingins U11 indoor tournament report

12th & 13th November 2016

by Danny Bower (Tournament Director)

Over the course of the weekend of Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th November, Gingins Cricket Club once again hosted its annual indoor tournament at the College Madame De Staël in Carouge (GE).

Along with a 10-strong home team were teams representing Zurich, Basel, Luxembourg and a combined Cossonay / GRYCC team totaling 40 players.
With a scoring system that encouraged accurate bowling, tight fielding and sharp running between the wickets, the overall standard (as commented by the head of youth development, Cricket Switzerland) was exceptionally high across the 10 matches played.
