THE Torquay Tigers Cricket Club Under 15 side recently had the opportunity to tour Adelaide and take on some of the local clubs.<\/p>\n

\n

The team had a packed schedule, playing four different Adelaide teams in four days amid the summer heat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

They played matches against Glenelg, Brighton, Marion and the Southern Shire representatives team.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Under 15 coach Daniel Emmerson organised a similar tour where Torquay juniors played these teams four years ago, and all parties were eager for it to happen again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Emmerson said the team had a fantastic time and learnt a lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey got a lot out of it. It was a steep learning curve, playing on turf pitches and against a high level of cricketers. They won one game and lost three, but they had a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt was a great trip and the kids were really appreciative of the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The event was made possible by the Torquay Lions. They gave money to help hire a bus for the team to make the trip in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAlthough the junior cricketers had raised considerable funds to cover the cost of the cricket tour, they had a shortfall<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

of $1,000, which our club unanimously agreed to provide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe believe that young people who actively play team sport gain many life skills and benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Emmerson said it was great to get support from the Lions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey were fantastic helping us out with sponsorship.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
