Cricket demonstration in Lyon

69 CC


69 Cricket club participated in Vital sport organized by Decathlon – Lyon at their campus the 8th & 9th of September. We thank Decathlon for giving us this wonderful opportunity.

We had bright sunny days in Lyon & more than 15 000 visitors discovered the different sports. 50 clubs participated including LOU Rugby, Lyon hockey club, ASVEL etc, There was excitement everywhere. That was a perfect place for sport lovers. Almost 130 kids aged around 10-15 got introduced to cricket. We managed to organize mini matches for the kids in the small space allocated to us.

Kids loved hitting sixers & stealing quick singles. All we said them was to hit & run & not to get run out or caught. They understood!

Besides satisfying these kids through cricket we were also able to gain important contacts with some of the potential sponsors, big clubs, event organizers & sports teachers. This would definitely take our small club to another level.

 

We thank all our club members for their precious efforts that made this event a huge success. We thank whole-heartedly Mr. David BORDES, the Director Technique Cricket, for his presence throughout the weekend. His marketing skills helped us win many precious contacts.
