Autumn Blitz 2022 Season review

It's been a fantastic start to the indoor Cricket season, the Autumn Blitz has seen under 11s, under 13s, under 16s, Women & Girls and Masters teams competing in their respective tournaments... We had a massive 45 team entries, with over 300 players competing in 186 matches over the 8-week period!!

There have been many special moments with some really high-quality cricket played, and some controversial moments too with the appearance of the much debated 'mankad'! Overall, we've seen high development in the standard of the Indoor Cricket being played at TCA with all teams adapted to the format- the game being a fun and fast paced way of playing has been at the heart of the whole Autumn Blitz tournament and we're already looking forward to the next tournament, which is the Winter Bash!

Read on to see all the winners, runners up and teams of the tournaments...

We'd like to say a huge well done to all those who have played and given their all. And a massive thank you to the volunteers who have organised and managed their teams - as with all grass roots cricket, these tournaments wouldn't go ahead without these wonderful volunteers!
