Members of the North Bay Cricket Club had a winning weekend in Timmins.

Dear Editor,

I am Vasudevan Kaarudaiar, the captain of the North Bay Cricket Club. I am thrilled to announce that our team travelled to Timmins this past weekend (June 1 and 2) to participate in a tri-series against teams from Sudbury and Timmins, and we emerged victorious.

This win is particularly momentous as it marks the first recognized tournament of the season. Despite not having access to proper practice facilities, our team showcased exceptional skill, determination, and teamwork to secure this victory. This achievement underscores the potential and dedication of our players, even in the face of significant challenges.

We hope this victory will shine a light on the flourishing interest in cricket within our community and highlight the need for better infrastructure and facilities. With continued support and investment, we are confident that North Bay Cricket Club and the sport of cricket will continue to thrive and inspire future generations.

In addition to celebrating our success, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors who made this journey possible. Our triumph would not have been feasible without the generous support of:

- Wolves Den
- Canco Petroleum
- Young Forestry Services
- Wendy’s
- Jiffy Lube
- Shoppers Drug Mart @Josephine
- Romy Ghumman Real Estate, Canadore College

Their contributions have been indispensable, providing us with the necessary resources to compete and excel. We are deeply appreciative of their faith in our team and their commitment to supporting local sports.

Yours sincerely,

Vasudevan Kaarudaiar 
Captain, North Bay Cricket Club
