The Youth Cricket game organized by Charles Peterson also brought many kids and youth to the ground. We are extremely pleased with the progress in the Cricket development domain. Thank You Charles.
After a prolific performance by Friends CC, particularly their centurion Captain, Vijay Sundramurthy, Knights were convincingly beaten in the finals. With both Captains of each team leading from the front, all players displayed excellent sportsmanship and team spirit throughout the game. After scoring 204, Knights bowlers took the early breakthroughs and kept a tight control overs their bowling. The game was balanced until the chase was halfway, but Vijay Sundramurthy saved his best for the middle overs and executed in style. A well deserved win indeed for Friends CC.
Falcons beat MN Chargers to qualify for the Divison I along with Bhakta A. Chasing a mere 120, Falcons weren’t let go easily. MN Chargers displayed some of the best bowling in the tournament and brought the game close. At the end, Falcons comfortably won the contest and took Division II Champion Trophy home.
