Labuan Cricket Tournament 2006

We had great fun at the Labuan 6 Aside Cricket Tournament on Sunday (23 July 2006). The Tournament was held at Dataran Labuan right across the Labuan Hotel that i featured in my earlier blog here. I was with Labuan Cricket Association (a.k.a LACA) (pronounce as "Laa kaa").

All the teams were divided into 4 groups i.e. North, South, East & West.There were 13 teams altogether and LACA was in one of the 4 groups called WEST. We were put together with the other 3 teams who are Destroyer, Energy & Shell Labuan.

Each match is 2 innings with each bowler having 4 balls.

We did not expect to be a competitor in the tournament but surprise, surprise, we were damn good. Mine you, the other teams were all below 25 years old and we were all above that age bracket.Cricket is such a funny game that age don't matter since experience counts.

We were beaten by Destoyer but managed to beat Energy and Shell through the day. We end up at the top of Group WEST. We met Sunrise at the Champions Cup Semifinal but beaten and relegated to the Plate Championship at Semifinal.We met SMK Sains Labuan but could not proceed to the final.SMK Sains won by 10 runs.

It was fun day and we expect to see more cricket in Labuan soon.

The event was organised by Labuan Sports Council.Congratulations to the organizers.Shout out to Mr. Kuhen from Alliance Bank Labuan for a job well done.

    Des, it is a simple game once you understand the terms.A game is divided into 2 innings (1 inning = 1st half in football lah). 1st inning, LACA bat and try to score as many runs as possible.2nd inning, the opponent team will do the same while we bowl.The reams with the most runs after 2 innings wins.Simple, kan?
