About the Brandon Cricket Club

Hello, Goeie dag, G'day, Sat Sri Akal, Namaste, Salaam Alaykum, Vanakam, Ayubowan, and Mhoroi!

Established in 2002, the Brandon Cricket Club is proud to represent the Westman community of Manitoba. With over 25 members associating themselves from countries such Canada, India, Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and the West Indies. The Brandon Cricket Club, with the affiliation of Manitoba Cricket Association, is proud to be recognized as a 'brand ambassador' amongst the international community in Brandon.

We have contributed in numerous ways to the development of cricket in Brandon, and vastly responsible for promoting the worlds second largest sport to the people of Westman. We participate as a local club representing the city of Brandon in provincial cricket tournaments all across Manitoba. The club is focused on developing young players and individuals unfamiliar with the sport and making them the future leaders of the club.

We like to ensure that young players have a great future in this club and all of it's activities. Brandon Cricket Club is one of the only clubs in the province that enrols players from all ages, and its executives provide opportunity and encouragement to any and all up and coming cricketers.

Brandon Cricket Club is a family oriented club where members and their families and friends have the opportunity to get involved in various activities and outings. The club usually practices outdoors every Sunday beginning in mid-May at Kirkcaldy Heights School Ground, and regularly participates in the Manitoba Indoor Cricket League beginning in October.

We are appreciative of your interest in Brandon Cricket Club and once again we extend our hearty welcome. If you wish to contact us, please e-mail naseer@brandoncricket.com and we would be delighted to hear from you or answer any questions you may have. Our doors will always be open for new members!

 

 

Our Mission for 2009:

	Previous Years	2009
Pitch/Ground	Practices are held at the Kirkcaldy Heights School ground. It is a regular school field with some bumps and uneven surface. No practice pitch mat is installed.	To create a suitable cricket pitch in Brandon where cricket enthusiasts of all ages are welcome to play in a professional, safe and friendly environment. Practices will continue to be held at the Kirkcaldy Heights School ground until further notice.
Equipment	Team equipment consists of most essentials such as bats, balls, batting pads, batting gloves, wicket keeping gloves and pads, etc.	With the summer season beginning, the club has some new bats, batting pads, gloves, and wicket keeping gloves.
Fees	Due to the lack of funding in previous years, fees ranged around $100.	Thanks to the generous corporate sponsorship by Double Decker, and with the increase of cricket enthusiasm around Westman, summer season fees have been dropped from previous years and will range from $30-$50. This is yet to be finalized (by mid-May). Fundraising social - Friday, May 8th @ The Double Decker from 9pm to 2am. Tickets are $10.
