Gingins U15 Indoor Tournament Report: 26-27 November 2016
by Arnold Bucheli (Tournament Director)

Over the course of the weekend of 26-27 November, Gingins Cricket Club once again hosted its annual indoor tournament at the College Madame De Staël in Carouge (GE). Along with the home team were teams representing Zurich, Basel, La Chat, Cossonay and GRYCC - totalling 55 players.


With a scoring system that encouraged accurate bowling, tight fielding and sharp running between the wickets, the overall standard (as commented by the head of youth development, Cricket Switzerland) was exceptionally high across the 12 matches played.


On Saturday were pool matches with the teams divided into two pools of 3 teams each determining the seeding for Sunday’s semi-finals and the final. The pool matches were closely contested, and the result could have gone either way.  There were also consolation matches, each of which were also keenly competed.

Individual Awards


The individuals singled out for making the most impact for their teams over the course of the weekend:

Award
 Player/Team
 Best Batsman
Louqmaan (GRYCC) 106 runs on the weekend, including 40 in their win against Basel
 Best Bowler
Wilf (Gingins) Took 9 wickets over the weekend, many more than the next highest wicket taker, and very economical as well, including 5 in the semi-final and final.
 Best Fielder
Marc (Basel) including the first catch of the tournament (off his own bowling) and the last catch of the tournament to secure victory for Basel.
 Spirit of Cricket
 

Sasha (Zurich). He approaches the game with relentless energy, scores runs, bowls nicely and kept his team and their spirits up throughout the tournament.

 

Ben (Gingins) He's new to cricket having started in April of this year.  He played many matches for both Gingins and GRYCC over the weekend. Had few opportunities with the bat and the ball. Took two catches as well as a wicket off his bowling.  His fielding and all-around performance improved greatly over the weekend and he aways played with a smile on his face. 

 

This is why the youngsters come out to play.  Keep up the good work.

Well done to the Basel Dragons for winning this year’s event, and to all the individual winners as well.

Les surfaces des terrains actuels sont en mauvais état. SIGFREDO HARO

 Par AGO

Mardi soir, c’est avec un grand «oui» que les conseillers communaux ont accepté l’octroi d’un crédit de 35 000 francs en vue du réaménagement de la place des sports. Une somme qui permettra à la Municipalité de lancer l’étude d’avant-projet des futures installations. Et de rénover les surfaces des terrains multisports qui sont actuellement en mauvais état. à tel point que leur utilisation pourrait se révéler dangereuse.

Ce vote fait suite à une étude préliminaire (d’un coût de 10 000 francs) commandée à la société Real Sport par les autorités. Celle-ci a notamment planché sur la construction d’un nouveau terrain de foot en gazon naturel, la transformation d’un terrain en gazon existant – toujours pour le ballon rond - en surface synthétique et la création d’une aire multisports.

Cela sans oublier la réalisation d’un bâtiment intégrant douze nouveaux vestiaires. Ce qui devrait réjouir les joueurs du FC Gingins passés de 120 à 300 membres depuis 1985, année d’inauguration des infrastructures sportives actuelles. Les «footeux» utilisent pour le moment des douches situées dans les locaux de la Protection civile, sous le parking à proximité.

Un mini skatepark?

Les amateurs de sports urbains (skate, roller, trottinette) devraient également y trouver leur compte puisqu’une petite zone destinée à leurs activités pourrait aussi sortir de terre. Une pétition allant dans ce sens ayant été remise à la Commune par un jeune habitant du village, les autorités tenteront d’en prendre compte pour l’élaboration du projet final.

Quant au coût final du complexe, il pourrait atteindre les 6,5 millions de francs. Un montant qui ne serait pas uniquement pris en charge par la Commune. Le Conseil communal propose en effet que l’Association intercommunale Asse-Boiron mette la main au porte-monnaie. AGO 

Bob Barber U15 Award for Gingins player Thomas Allen

 The Bob Barber Award, presented by Bob Barber (a former England International cricketer), is awarded annually to the Swiss junior player, who has made the most outstanding contribution to junior cricket in their age group (U11, U13, U15, U17 & U19).  

On March 5th, Bob Barber presented the 2015 Swiss Cricketer of the Year awards to the age group winners for last season. Thomas Allen was the honoured recipient of the U15 Award. Thomas is the third Gingins player (after Rohan Jain in 2011/2013 and Aidan Andrews 2013/2014) to receive this award.

Yeti Singh introduced the awards with a short recap of comments gathered from all the Swiss coaches about each nominated player. In Thomas's case he was commended for his good performances with both bat and ball but especially for his dedication to training hard and to being coached. Thomas is a regular tourist with the Swiss national teams and also the Gingins U17/19.  

Thomas joined Gingins as an U11 and had a perfectionist streak from that young age. He sets himself high standards and expectations and practices hard, never missing nets sessions. From September 2016 he will be in England and working hard to be selected to represent Sevenoaks School next summer.

Gingins Indoor Spring Tournaments Report: March 5-13 2016

Hi all, 

These past couple of weekends, have been really busy.  Gingins Cricket Club hosted indoor tournaments at the U11, U13 and U15 age groups and held indoor matches at the U17/U19 age group.

1. U11s (March 5&6 at College Madame de Staël) - The Gingins U11s were successful, winning their tournament.  Well done to all the lads on a great team effort. The other teams competing came from Basel, Zurich, GRYCC and Luxembourg.  Over the weekend the matches were competitive, and played in a tremendous spirit. Our team played 4 matches and won all four.

2. U15s (March 5&6 at Salle Omnisport CFPT Mecanique) - The Gingins U15s came in second place in their tournament, which was won by Zurich.  Well played to the boys after a disappointing tournament in Basel in November. The team played four matches winning 3, losing one.  The lone loss came against Zurich, who also finished on a 3-1 record and won based on the head-to-head result.  The other teams competing represented Basel (3rd), Cossonay (4th), and La Chat (5th).

3. U13s (March 12&13 at played at both venues on Saturday and CFPT on Sunday) - The U13s had a six-team round-robin tournament. They finished with a 4-1 record, with their only loss coming against eventual winners Basel, coming in a very credible second place.  The other teams to compete were Zurich (3rd), Swiss National U11 side* (4th), GRYCC 5th and La Chat (6th).

* Gingins players also represented the Swiss National U11 side.

 

4. U17/U19s (March 13 at College Madame de Staël) - The Gingins U17/U19 combined team played matches against teams from GRYCC and Zurich.  Winning one and losing the other.  These matches formed part of the team selection for the Swiss Colts National U20s side.  Good luck to our players in the selection process.

 

Well played to all players, you represented yourselves and the club in the true spirit of the game.

I would also like to thank the Moms and Dads for assisting with the coaching, umpiring, score-keeping, catering and, of course, cleaning up at the end of the weekends.  It is only with the support of the whole team that makes hosting these tournaments possible.

After the Easter break we will begin our practices for the outdoor season. 
•On 9-10 April there is the coaching course for parents.  If you have not yet signed up, there are still some spaces available.
•On 16-17 April Manoj Parmar will be here from England to provide group training for the younger age groups and one-on-one sessions for the older ones.

If you need more information on these last two points, please ask me.

Best regards,

Arnold
