Kids enjoyed each other’s company both on and off the in the matches, training, and even social catchups. Most importantly they played the game of cricket with spirit and respect for everyone.
Though our season started with couple of losses, but afterwards, kids pulled up their socks and put in a lot of effort in training. As a result, Yellow team had a great run of achieving 7 straight wins and surprising everyone to quality for the semifinal.
There was marked improvement in the skill level from everyone in the team, which lead to some great wins and some individual brilliance. No surprise that Yellow team had the highest run getter and wicket taker for the club for this season.
This road to semi’s was always not rosy and Yellow team had their own up’s and downs with players getting injured or not able to get minimum of 8 on the field for most of the matches due to some other clashes. Everyone on the team had huge learning including the coach who was finding his own style of coaching and all the little caveats of rules, regulations, and strategies.
Even though their journey ended in Semi’s but this season was a milestone and not the destination. These kids will go long way in their career.
