The Revelstoke Cricket Club earned their first-ever victory this month in only their fourth game since forming.
The Revelstoke club defeated the Salmon Arm Cricket Club by three wickets on Aug. 6. 鈥淭he game was a thrilling encounter which saw two determined sides compete in difficult conditions,鈥� said Revelstoke Skipper Matt Bramall.
The match also marked new beginnings for cricket in Salmon Arm, with the club hosting competition for the first time on their own, brand-new cricket pitch.
鈥淲ith smoke from multiple fires and 30C temperatures, playing conditions were extremely challenging,鈥� added Bramall. 鈥淭his certainly contributed to some feisty moments between the two teams as both were eager to secure a victory.鈥�
The Revelstoke club is also well on their way to building a pitch in its own community, adding to the growth of the sport in the Interior.
According to Bramall, the local club is a quarter of the way to their fundraising goal of $10,000 to build a cricket pitch at Centennial Park in Revelstoke.
