A message from the Board
With July almost at a close and as we head in to August it is hard to believe that we are halfway through the season already. Time flies when you're having fun. And it is easy to forget all the great things we have accomplished, just in July - the T20 Smash finals were held, our Women's team finished their season, the SCF's junior leagues are winding up, all the Men's T20 series have started, the SCC Gladiators travelled to Umeå (the first time the club has ever played there), and we held an Open Day.
On the subject of which, it was great to see so many people at the Open Day on July 2nd. And we hope that the match between the Chairman's XI and the Captains XI will become an annual fixture where all the club can come together.
Lastly, but no means least, the board would like to welcome Emelie Arvidsson Porob to the board as an adjutant ledamot.
Keep up the great effort, have fun and go well!

Chairman's XI vs Captains XI Match
|
|
The Captains XI won the inaugural Chairman's v Captains match.
As part of the Open Day a match between teams selected by the Club Chairman and 1st XI Captain was played. Each team needed to have players representing the different sections in the club. The idea being to bring all the the disparate teams in the club together and give the younger players in the club an experience of playing with a senior team, but also as a demonstration of cricket to people that attended the open day.
The Chairman's XI team was; Abhinav R, Chenna, Flynn G-H, Hamzah, Himanshu P, Jyoti S, Karl L, Sampat M, Vanie G.
The Captain's XI team was; Waleed, Reyansh, Ritam, Advait, Yash, Kaushik, Meghna, Manu L, Abhishek, Viswa,
