Hi all,
Dave Weller an extremely keen Cricketing friend of ours wants to create a cricket team. We have agreed to sponsor the team at THE MILL, Ocean Golf and Country Club, Golf del Sur and the first meeting to arrange practice times etc will be in the next 14 days. All ages and experience welcome with and without kit. Please PM me with best days and times for an initial meeting up session and I will get back to you with the first meeting arrangements. Please pass this on to anyone else you know who may well enjoy playing cricket, doesn't matter if they haven't played for a while. Experts more than welcome too! Let's have some fun Tenerife !

I would imagine finding some grass to play on could be an issue?

The Indians (Hindu community) used to play here, I've played a couple of matches against them in the past on the old driving range on Golf del Sur (when there was grass on it).

From what i have read there is only one other team on the Island, you are hardly likely to get a bad review if you have a bad game are you ???

I did take note, you could be the manager or coach though, age canīt take experience away. ;)

Well please chat to anyone you know who may be interested.... Its not super serious but we need at least 4 keen players and we got 3 already but if we can all have some fun, share some experience..perhaps be an umpire Miguel.

"Loaded".. you are the third member already !! When is a good time for you ? Dave is available most times so quite flexible but he appreciates that some people have more structured lives here.

Come on THE Mill CRICKET TEAM !!

Ok brill, we are spending the next 10 days or so getting as many people on board as possible so recruit recruit recruit..because not everyone will turn up !!


Apparently the boot fair at Guaza sometimes has some cricket gear for sale ( well they did last week)

Hi,
My boyfriend is the captain of a Yorkshire Dales Village cricket club and we are looking for teams in Tenerife to hopefully play in October? We are wondering if you would be interested in playing a friendly match at the beginning of October this year? Look forward to hearing from you. Teera
