SOAS Cricket Team

Just gotten in our fixtures for the BUCS league. They group us to play against other British universities ranked in ability and area. Because we’re new, we’re in the lowest tier of the South-Eastern league. These seem like some exciting fixtures so it’ll be a great start to our team.

Here are the fixtures as of 5/2/2010:

21/4/2010 – SOAS 1st XI v. University of East London 1st XI (H)
25/4/2010 – University of Greenwich 2nd XI v. SOAS 1st XI (A)
28/4/2010 – UWIC (LSC) 1st XI v. SOAS 1st XI (A)

05/5/2010 – SOAS 1st XI v. UWIC (LSC) 1st XI (H)
09/5/2010 – University of East London 1st XI v. SOAS 1st XI (A)
12/5/2010 – SOAS 1st XI v. University of Greenwich 2nd XI (H)

We are up against some interesting teams here especially because it will include a trip to Cardiff on the 28th. While we are new, we are very certainly looking for promotion. We’ll put up the ULU fixtures as soon as we can.

Hey SOAS’ers

In our first year of our latest inception we’re extremely excited to get going and play some matches. Our first season will be the 2010 season and we are going to have some very interesting games.

Our leagues are the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) and the ULU (University of London Union Sport) leagues. We’ll not only be competing in these two, but for the 2010/2011 season we also hope to enter into the indoor cricket leagues run by these two organisations.

We’ll fill you in about our exciting fixtures in separate posts when we get them in. Remember, if you want to be apart of our team, turning up to nets is compulsory. We look forward to the new season!
