BANGKOK CRICKET LEAGUE

Crucial games this weekend

Southerners will take on BC/Elite today in a game that they need to win to ensure their spot in the semi-final of the Premier Division which will be most likely against Indian Cricket Club. Indian Cricket club need a huge effort in their match against Siam Parrots tomorrow in order to overhaul BCC from the top of the table and if that can be achieved, it will earn them a place directly into the Grand Final in a few weeks' time.

It is a big task at hand as they need to make up over 20 points which is not impossible but against a determined Parrots side, it could be out of their reach.

There are no A Division games this weekend though last weekend saw AIT CC defeat Aditya Birla CC which has given a huge boost to the students' goal to reach their second final in successive years.

The B Division gets back underway next weekend with Southerners Black leading the way at the top of the table closely followed by Fortune CC and Chicha CC.

Over the past few weeks, there have been several Sixes tournaments around Thailand in which local Bangkok Cricket League teams have competed in, all with some degree of success.

RBSC team competed in the RBSC Sixes during the first weekend of April. The Southerners travelled to Chiang Mai to compete in the 20th Chiang Mai International Sixes where they reached the Bowl final only to be beaten by a Chiang Mai team consisting of some of the Siam Parrots players. The Thai Colts made it to Cup final of the Hua Hin Sixes while the Siam Parrots had players playing for the Parrot Masters in the Masters competition.

This weekend sees the Phuket International Sixes being played in Phuket and the Bangkok Cricket League would like to wish all the best to all participants, especially the teams competing from the local league there, Phuket Cricket Union.
