YAYAH Challenge Shield – Annual Social Game – Report by Jon Karu

A motley group of men nearing or in their fifties (and some even in their sixties), calling themselves “Young At Heart” again challenged a young sprightly team of colts in their late teens and early twenties, calling themselves “ Young Adults” for the YAYAH challenge shield, on 14/01/18 at Henley Park, Enfield in NSW. The game was organised by “The Instant Cricketers of Sydney (unincorporated)” under the steward ship of Suren “Duke” Ramachandran & Jerome “Gasi” Gasperson.

Best fielder :                     David Jesuthasan from YA team
Best bowler :                    Jehan Emanuel from YAH team
