The 2015 Summer T20 Tournament Has Arrived

The annual summer SCC Twenty20 tournament has arrived. This year, the SCC put all the member clubs together to create six mixed squads across both clubs and divisions, ensuring that members get to play with those who they generally don’t team with. The tournament will last for three weeks.

“The aim is to not only make it a fun event,” said SCC President Manoj Mehta, “but more importantly, for members to get to know folks that are from other clubs and build some new bonds to make the SCC community stronger.”
