Chile

The first in a series of ICC Introduction to Cricket courses was held at Universidad Mayor over the weekend of May 7th and 8th and was attended by seven enthusiastic Physical Education students.

The course, run as part of the ACC's newly formed partnership with the university, covered the basic sills (batting, bowling and fielding) as well as modules on umpiring & scoring and modified & innovative cricket. All participants passed with flying colours and are now looking at ways to become more involved with the sport in Chile.

Sub13 Tour by Chile to Argentina
As reported in the Argentine section

A disappointed Chile U13 squad returned to Santiago on May 26th having lost out to Argentina in the annual Andes Cup (formerly Copa Trasadina) held at the spectacular Hurlingham Club in Buenos Aires.

For the second year running, Sebastian Poet was awarded Player of the Tournament for his decisive lower-order innings and unenviable task of bowling at the death. During their five-day tour, Chile also played games against North and South School X1s, winning the Northern leg comfortably by 40 runs and missing out by a single wicket in the final over of the South game.

The ACC would like to thank the ACA, Hurlingham Club, Bedes Grammar School and St. Alban's College for their excellent hospitality throughout the duration of this tour.
