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.
The final standings were:
Pos. | Team | Played | Won | Lost |
1. | Zurich Crickets CC | 4 | 4 | 0 |
2. | Gingins CC | 4 | 3 | 1 |
3. | Luxembourg U11s | 4 | 2 | 2 |
4. | Basel Dragons CC | 4 | 1 | 3 |
5. | Cossonay CC/GRYCC | 4 | 0 | 4 |
The individuals singled out for making the most impact for their teams over the course of the weekend:
Award | Player (Team) |
Best Batsman | Sasha (ZCCC): 95 runs from 4 unbeaten innings |
Best Bolker | Owen (ZCCC): 10.2 overs, 17 runs and 8 wickets |
Best Fielder | Bron (Gingins) |
Spirit of Cricket | Basel Dragons CC: Award collected by Geiorge & Connor |
Well done to the Zurich Crickets for winning this year’s event, and to all the individual winners as well.
