Swords CC inviting entries for Swords Cup
Swords Cricket Club pitch Inauguration and Cricket Tournament (Swords Cup)
Swords Cricket Club is one the newest clubs in Fingal formed in the year 2000. It was created by group of immigrants who started to play soft ball cricket before moving onto the hardball version of the game. As there is no established cricket club in the Swords area they decided to start a new club. During the two years of it's existence Swords Cricket Club has now formally entered into the Leinster leagues, participating this year in Division 10. The first official match will be held on May 12th against Pembroke Cricket Club in Sandymount. The following weekend, May 20th will see the first game played at Swords CC's new home at Newbridge Park demesne.
The new pitch is being installed by Morgan Sports Solutions and Swords CC are indebted to the Leinster Cricket Union, Niall McGuirk from Fingal Co Co and Gerry Fitzgerald of the Fingal County Council Parks Division for their assistance in making this new sporting development come about.
The official opening of the pitch will be on April 28th by the honourable Mayor of Fingal County Council. Along with the inauguration of the new pitch, Swords Cricket Club in conjunction with the Leinster Cricket Union and Fingal County Council are organising a one-day cricket tournament. It's a 'six a side' cricket tournament involving 12 teams.
Looking forward to a great summer.
