Memorial Day Cricketing Memories in Dallas!

by | Jun 5, 2022 | Community, Sports

TCA Camp kids meeting Robin Singh

Reading Time: 3 minutes

A great, if not the best weekend in NTCA history, the annual Memorial day tournament comes to an end. A tournament shown through the grit of the players, coaches and parents, we were really on the edge of our seats all four days. With all age categories showing skill, precision and talent, only one team will take it all the way, and feel victory. 

Under 11

In the U11 age section, we saw a battle of the win-hungry teams. Only the best out of the best could make it out alive to the finals. In the finals, we saw the NTCA U11 Rangers sport it out against the NTCA U11 Cowboys! There had to be one team winning it all, after a great match of cricket. In this encounter, we saw the Rangers win by 6 runs. The cowboys held up a great fight, taking it to the last over of the game, sadly to get all out. All in all, a great experience for the players that participated in this sector of the tournament and this amazing finals.

 

Best Batsman : Shayan Khurram

Best Bowler : Tarun Haricharan

Most Valuable Player : Savir Sachin Shah 

Under 14

In the Under 14 age category, we had some of the older boys showcase their unique skills on the pitch. Every teM came to win, but only one actually did it. This weekend for them was more of a bonding session, rather less competitive. We could clearly see that these boys just came out to have a hefty go at the trophy, and to just enjoy the sport they love! The U14 finals showcased two very solid teams, the NTCA U14 Avengers and the NTCA U14 Blasters. Two very experienced teams, the Blasters got the edge early on and the rest of the match clicked on all cylinders for them. A decisive win, Blasters took the celebrations high and left the ground with great spirits. Avengers, who on the other hand lost, were wondering what could have happened if only just some mistakes were fixed. Another great tournament for U14 as all the players had fun and played their heart out. A great weekend in general!

Best Batsman : Suvir Gudipati

Best Bowler : Jai Sanjan Manikandan  

Most Valuable Player : Shrishaan Reddy Battula

Under 16

In the Under 16 age category, these players that participated had experience, and handpicked skill and perfection! Being the most dynamic age group to play this tournament, the games started off with a bang! Extremely high scoring, with utmost value and desire. Now, this tournament for them was very serious. It was either fly high, or die. Either be trampling, or get trampled. In the final, we experienced the NTCA Eagles play the NTCA Hawks! A very high scoring match, the Hawks pulled away at the very last moment. Sometimes things go your way, and sometimes they don’t. But that’s the hidden beauty of cricket. This tournament really shaped players and cricketers. Even coaches! Spirits ridden high, the Hawks, soared to victory!

Best Batsman : Rishi Ramesh

Best Bowler : Aishik Ghosh

Most Valuable Player : Arjun Mahesh

It’s good to see the rise of cricket playing crowds in the DFW area and certainly such tournaments boost the confidence and experience of young players . There was a time when youth players had to go to other cities on long weekends to play matches , however after NTCA is making sure to provide that platform and experience here in Dallas itself , helping youth players to gain the top notch experience of the game .

Congratulations !! all the winning teams and NTCA for the successful execution of the Memorial day tournament .
