On Saturday 10 June, two school teams played the first ever final of the Belgian cricket championship for under-11 schoolboys and girls. Under splendid conditions, Christophe Peeters, the alderman for Sport of the city of Ghent, was on hand to see 20 enthusiastic kids playing cricket. Later, he also officially opened the new pitch at Domein Claeys-Bouüaert in Mariakerke near Ghent.
