Gingins Colts Indoor report

3 November 2018

report by Arnold Bucheli

On Saturday 3 November, thirty-two Swiss Colt-aged cricketers descended on the College Madame de Staël (Carouge (GE)) for a day of indoor cricket.

Hopefully, this was the first of several such days to be played over the winter months.

This day was hosted by the Gingins Cricket Club and organised by Patrick Henderson (Zurich), Steve West (Basel) and Arnold Bucheli (Gingins).
The players represented the various junior clubs in the country: Basel, Cossonay, La Chat, GRYCC, Zurich and Gingins.

They were divided into four teams, and the teams played in a round-robin format. All the matches were played in an excellent spirit, with good competition between the players, irrespective of the outcome.

There was no winner on the day. However, both Team A and Team C won the two matches they played. Unfortunately, the time had elapsed, and the last match had to be abandoned. Nevertheless, there was some excellent cricket on display in the five completed matches.
