Quoting from the release:
"Clarke and Cox have both served the Cricket Canada for over 30 years in various capacities and have been instrumental in building the game at both the regional and national levels. They are both current members of the Cricket Canada executive and instrumental in the workings of the organization.
Edwards and Kyle are both past presidents of Cricket Canada. Edwards presided over Canada's 2001 World Cup qualification run and saw the team into the 2003 Cricket World Cup where Canada achieved its first and only win against a full member country. Kyle has been a stalwart of British Columbia Cricket for a half century and his work with junior cricket has been an unparalleled success."
The Metro Vancouver Cricket League conveys sincere thanks and appreciation to Cliff and Jack for the tremendous amount of service they have given to cricket and the honour they have brought to BC. Their contribution to the game over the years will not be forgotten and something which will not be easily surpassed. ]]> http://www.mvcl.org/images/2009/ICC_Medals.pdf Ivneet Bains, a junior player, came with his parents to Canada from Chandigargh in 2007 and immediately began playing cricket with Master Blasters CC. Under the watchful eye of his captain/manager, Anil Khanna, his cricketing skills have improved tremendously in a very short time. During this season he has been 'borrowed' by such clubs as Shaughnessy, Cloverdale and Fraser Valley and has consistently contributed in no small measure to their success. His scores include 130, 116 n.o. 84 and 55.
His talents are not limited to the cricket field alone. Amongst other achievements, he was recently honoured by the Indo-Canadian Business Association as the 'overall winner' from a group of 19 students; he has been awarded one of two TEAL scholarships for ESL students in BC who have excelled in academics and extra-curricular activities from the David C. Lam Foundation, and has also received a 2009 Millenium Excellence Award, Surrey Youth Recognition Award and the President'�s entrance scholarship from UBC where he will be furthering his studies this year.
Well done Ivneet. Best wishes for continued success. ]]> The team will be: Kevin Sandher, Dave McGowan, Steve Welsh, Adam Denny, Jon Snow, Karl Whatham, Luke McCarthy, Vohara Gunaratna, Brendan Cassels, Jason Sandher, Andrew Downs, Matthew Obst.
