San Ramon Nawaabs Are Cricket League Champions

As submitted by San Ramon Nawaabs representatives

The San Ramon Nawaabs were crowned the Tennisball Cricket Association-San Ramon Cricket Association (TCA- SRCA) 2010 Winter League Champions when they beat the Piccadilly Pacers in an exciting final that was enjoyed by a sizeable crowd that had gathered on a sunny Saturday morning at the picturesque Monarch Park in San Ramon.

The game was followed by an award function and presentation of the Winner's Trophy by San Ramon Mayor Abram Wilson to Sandeep Harigopal, the Captain of the San Ramon Nawaabs team. Mayor Wilson also presented medals to all the members of the San Ramon Nawaabs as well as the losing finalists the Piccadilly Pacers. 

It was not the first time that Mayor Wilson had done the honors, but it was the first time since the start of the TCA-SRCA League that a team other than the San Ramon Tigers won the championship.

The presentations were watched and enjoyed by a large crowd of over three hundred including a lot of friends and family, who were treated to a delicious Indian lunch, sponsored by Peacock Indian Restaurants, one of the many sponsors of the League. 

It was clear from the turnout that the TCA-SRCA brings together not just the players, but also their families, including children, spouses, and parents who find a sense of community from the sport of cricket.

The TCA-SRCA has started a summer cricket coaching camp for kids and in the future would like to reach out to the larger community to bring this vibrant and family friendly sport to many more residents of San Ramon.
