Cregagh Cricket Club

---

They say the sun always shines on The East, and it certainly did last Friday (3rd June) as Cregagh Cricket Club in association with Simon Johnston from SportNI hosted a Kwik Cricket competition for East Belfast primary schools.

In what has been the best day of the summer so far, over 60 kids turned up and played in a mini tournament for over 4 hours. The games were all very competitive with some exciting last ball finishes as boys and girls from each school battled hard to get to the final.

Best two teams on the day, Orangefield A and Downey House, battled out a hard fought final, with Downey House coming out on top as eventual winners.

But well done to all. Both Simon and Cregagh CC hope that this competition can now be an annual event at the club as all kids really enjoyed the days craic.

Simon & SportNI,  in association with Cregagh CC, will also be running a summer cricket school in the last two weeks of July and first week of August (details to be confirmed by end of this month). All ages welcome.
