Achievers Blue win Achievers Cricket Academy U12 tournament

The final exams of these children might have got over recently, but these young upcoming talents from Achievers Blue and Achievers Red teams had another major test on April 26th, 2015 when they clashed with each other in the Achievers Cricket Academy Under 12 cricket tournament organised by Achievers Cricket Academy at Chedda Nagar, Chembur. But the scene was not different than that of a school examination. The examination hall, pens, answer papers, supervisors etc were replaced by cricket ground, umpires, scorers, bat and ball. Achievers Blue won the toss and chose to bat with the old theory about finals to put total a good total on board and to put pressure on the opposition. They did that with the  boy in form Aayush Jimre. Aayush came true yet again and scored 51 runs. Achievers Blue scored a healthy 109 for 4 in their 15 overs.

Achievers Red were in the game during their chase.They fought till the end but the innings folded at 96 to give the team Blues a win by 13 runs.

One notable feature is that the score line of both team suggests that even at this age of 12, the children take their game seriously and by no means playing for the sake of playing. It was a fierce battle out there. We appreciate the level of competition amongst them and who knows one of them to make a mark at bigger level could be from this Academy.

This is just the beginning for what could be a on going affair in the years to come. While Achievers Blue have their name in the first ever edition, it was a good learning platform for the other teams who will come back strongly next year.

The Committee Members of the Academy gave away the prizes.
