Ealing 'StreetChance' Champions 2010

Aug 21, 2010

On Friday 20th August 2010, The Ferndale Centre, Brixton played host to the 2010 Streetchance Competition (supported by Barclays Spaces for Sports).

Streetchance boroughs from across London came together to play 'Street20' cricket against each other and try and earn the title of being 'Streetchance champions'. Notable team performances were from Waltham Forest who are coached by Cricket for Change's very own Development Officer, Donovan Miller.

Donovan said; "I am very proud of our boys, they have not been playing cricket very long but have made so much progress in a short space of time"

Other great team efforts came from Newham who went on to win every game they played aprt from the final and have bonded really well as a team. Yesin Mahmud, from the Newham team, won ‘Player of the Tournament’ and as a prize at the presentation he was awarded with two tickets for the Saturday of the England vs. Pakistan Test Match at Lord's.

The tickets were very kindly donated by The Sky Sports ECB Coach Education Programme. Yesin went on to say; "I am so happy I am going to a test match, I have never been to an England game before and I can’t wait! Thank you Sky Sports very much"

The competition was won eventually won by Ealing who played some great cricket all the way through.  Well Done to all that took part!
