LAST MAN STANDS – The new way to play Cricket
LAST MAN STANDS, The new way to play Cricket: New League starting at Leamington Cricket Club from the 17th May at 6pm
Last Man Stands is a new take on Twenty20 cricket and is aimed at all levels, from seasoned cricketers to those who have never played before. In Warwickshire, we have leagues to suit everyone, club, social and corporate, allowing you to play cricket, keep fit and be healthy in a fun and exciting environment, without any extra worry. The 8-a-side game lasts just 2 1/4 hours, so is perfect for a summers evening entertainment and exercise.
The innovative new rules ensure that every player takes part in the game. And as proof of that, each player and team get a career profile. With statistics uploaded within 24 hours of the game.
Last Man Stands is incredibly easy to join, as we take care of everything for you. The umpires, balls, ground and pre-match reminders are all included, making everything as hassle free as possible.
Included in the registration fee, every player will get a coloured playing shirt, insurance and worry free games of cricket!
