Enmore double-wicket competition set for Sunday

The Enmore Community Centre Cricket Club (ECCCC) will be hosting a 20-team knockout double-wicket cricket competition for teams on East Coast Demerara on Sunday (December 11) at Enmore Community Centre Ground. Teams will battle for several trophies and cash incentives in what promises to be an exciting day of cricket.

Double-wicket or “pairs” cricket is a form of cricket with two teams of two players each compete against each other for a limited number of overs. A player getting out in this form of cricket does not retire but continues to bat, but gets penalised a stipulated number of runs for each time he gets out.

A maximum of 20 teams will be accepted for this tournament, thus teams are urged to register early in order to participate. Interested teams can contact any representative of ECCCC or call 6462040 for more information on registration.

Cricket action will commence at 10:00h, and there will also be a raffle amongst spectators during the course of the matches. This event is sponsored by several Enmore businessmen.
