Albury CC - 6's
Tournament
2008
from Drew Nicholson,
Chairman Albury CC
14-18 July 2008
Dear Surrey Downs League
Clubs
For some time we have been be moaning the sad lack of a
local festival of 6-a-side cricket. Evening cricket matches that
centre around really exciting games; in an informal and friendly
event.
In years gone by there were occasional festivals, but there has
been nothing for a long time, so the folks at Albury have
decided it is time to change things!
In the week before the famous Albury Produce Show (which is the
big village summer weekend with lots of visitors, large marquee
etc), they will be staging a 6’s tournament across 5 evenings.
And in this age when 20:20 has become the rage, they’re hoping
that this ultra short format will prove popular with local teams
and spectators alike.
The key points of the competition are these:
• 16 teams to play in knockout format
• Barbecue and bar will be in full swing on each evening
• Round 1 matches will start on Monday 14th July (there will be
3 matches per night; they should take under one hour each).
• The two semi finals and the final will take place on the
evening of Friday 18th.
• 5 overs per side (max one over per bowler) – make sure you
only pick all rounders!
As you might gather, this is not a recipe for careful batting
(scores of 60+ would be considered good!).
There will be an entry fee for each participating club of £25.
Places will be allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis
and Albury are inviting Surrey Downs Clubs and some other local
teams. Please do let them know if you would like to join the
fun. If you do, your cheque is what will secure your team a
place and Albury will sort out further details with you in due
course.
We are sure of good local media coverage and strong community
support too.
