The annual Cork County Charity 6-a-side Cricket 
Tournament 2010 will be taking place on Friday the 2nd July and Saturday the 3rd July, 2010. The charity selected this year is the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind . It is hoped we can raise more than we did for the 2009 nominated charity – Marymount Hospice and provide much needed support to the Irish Guide Dogs.
We hope to grow the tournament in the future to attract more international based clubs and players.
Throughout the years Cork County has seen many a notable cricket visitor from Graham Gooch, Nasser Hussain, Nick Knight, Niall O’Brien, Derek Pringle, Peter Such, Stuart Surridge, Robin Smith, John Stephenson, John & Simon Francis, Mark Waugh, Hansie Cronje and countless more have added to our great tradition of quality cricket and quality opposition. Cork County has even had the late great WG Grace visit the club in 1903 when he visited with the London County side.
Weekends Schedule:

morning – Games start 1030am; - Saturday – Final 7pm approx; and

The matches are played with wind balls so cricket pads etc. are not needed. Also the bats used are not dissimilar to Kwik Cricket bats this is to ensure the safety of novice cricketers as well as experienced cricketers. Throughout the day there is music, and other entertainment for the spectators accompanying the teams.
Last Year we had a mixture of teams (both male and female), old veterans, novices and part timers, Munster Rugby Team and the eventual winners Kilbrittain GAA Club. We hope that you will join us this year for what promises to be a great weekend.
