There’s still time for budding cricketers to join in a Kwik Cricket tournament being staged at Cleethorpes Cricket Club on June 1st.
So far the following teams have been entered, says organiser Mick Boulton:
1. Smyth Lodge. Representative Tony Barrett, (Possibly 2 Teams).
2. Lord Heneage Lodge. Rep; Steve Ibbotson.
3. St James Lodge. Rep; Hans Gertsen.
4. Minster Lodge. Rep; Ivor Hallam.
5. Astral Lodge. Rep; Mick Boulton.
He said: “Our generous hosts, Cleethorpes Cricket Club have expressed a wish to enter a Team, from their newly-formed Ladies Section.
“Please remember that the main reason for this event is to raise funds for the Festival.
We ask that each Team contribute £60, in the hope that £10 per player is an acceptable amount.”
The games are played in accordance with Kwik Cricket format / rules. Working on the basis of a 6 Team competition, there will be 2 Leagues of 3 Teams. Each Team will play 2 games in these Leagues, with the top 2 Teams going forward to the Semi Finals.
The winners of these will go into the Final.
The Batting side is split into 3 pairs of Batsmen.
Each pair will bat for 2 x 6 Ball Overs.
Runs are scored either by running between the wickets, or by hitting the ball to the boundary for 6 runs, or over the Boundary without bouncing, for 10 Runs.
Wickets (Outs) are lost in the usual manner, except, there are no LBW’s or Timed Out options.
Each time a wicket is lost, 10 runs will be deducted from the score.
The Batting pair will continue to bat for their full 2 Overs.
Each Team Member of the Bowling side will bowl one 6 Ball Over.
Balls may be bowled over-arm or under-arm, but the Bowler’s feet must be behind the Bowling Crease at the time of releasing the Ball.
“I hope you all agree that these are not difficult to follow, but I will be giving a briefing on the day.”
START TIME
Because of the playing format and other events at the Ground, we’re required to start the games no later than 11.30am.
We ask that you please arrive by 11am as a minimum, so we can brief you before the competition starts, says Mick.
It’s expected that the competition will be over by 6pm.
