Queensland Cricket are starting to plan for the next cricket season throughout the Darling Downs & South West Queensland region.
As part of their plan to expose more children to the sport and share the joy of cricket, Queensland Cricket ran a Cricket Blast School GALA day (School Cups) on Monday 19 August.
These days are run by Queensland Cricket, and aim to teach children from grades 3-6 the fundamentals of cricket in a fun, safe and fast modified game of cricket (8-10 players per team).
A number of students attended the event, and judging by their reactions, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day of fun.
