Indoor cricket.



Holy Cross have entered the inaugural ‘LiveSportOn.TV ESCA Indoor 6's’.

For some, the words cricket, indoor & league may summon up memories of this  (surely-alongside The Ascent of Man, The Singing Detective and Threads- the crowing glory of British television), in fact this competition involves something akin to cricket...

Now we just need a team…

Gary T and Cje play a proper athletic indoor sport but since the rest of you spending the winter evenings slumped in front of the XFactor, you could perhaps do with some exercise.

Can anyone interested please leave a comment to that effect-or email Jon.
We need a volunteer to organize the side…go ahead-seize the opportunity! …if might influence the selection committee currently engaged in the task of nailing down a captain for the 1sts for next season.

Details of the competition:

The competition will take the same format as the cricket Scotland tournament with 4 groups containing 3 teams in each.  The 3 teams in each group will attend on the same night and play round robin, each team will take part in 2 nights thus getting gets 4 games in total throughout the tournament.  Each of the 4 group winners would then attend the finals night for 2 Semi-Finals and a Final being held.
This will be run every Friday night from 20th January to 16th March 2012 at Liberton High School, the 1st game on each evening will start at 6.30pm prompt’.

  3. 'Not just Norrie who has a secret sporting history!!!'

    ....well where else would you get a bowling action like mine apart from thousands of hours on the Oche. But I only played on a 'Yorkshire board' and found it too hard to transfer to the 'London' board, so had to give it up. During my years in Yorkshire I also played a bizarre sport called indoor cricket....
