Cricket Becomes Popular

The final match of the Gurkhas Cup Cricket tournament held in Clifton Park in Brunswick was nothing short of a miracle. Of the 300 spectators gathered to see the match on a fine Sunday morning little would have thought that the team from Brunswick, Brunswick Blues, would emerge victorious over the team from Noble Park, the Nobles. The Nobles, following their easy win over all the other participating teams, including the Brunswick Blues, by huge margins in the preliminary matches of the same tournament, seemed oblivious of the challenges that lay ahead of them.

The final match kicked off with a pretty impressive show from both sides. The Brunswick Blues was batting in the first inning and they were very careful not to let the opportunity slip through their hands this time around. They were able to gather a pretty impressive 110 runs after a very well planned inning. But the Nobles also seemed to be determined not to let the Blues better their scores and put some really skillful fielding on display.
