This inaugural STC Cricket Sixes carnival has attracted many teams from all branches and some teams have already been registered. The deadline to do so is August 25 (tomorrow). The tournament will be played off in a league format with 4 matches being worked off simultaneously.

According to the organisers the event promises to be exciting and fun for the whole family, with games of skill, antique cars, foot rubs, bouncers, pony rides and fun activities for children as well. There will also be food and drink stalls, bands and DJ music, making this a fantastic Thomian Carnival of camaraderie and celebration.

Parking for the event won’t be an issue as there will be ample space provided at the ‘Small Club’ grounds. The Softball Cricket Sixes Carnival is organised by the S. Thomas’ College Mt. Lavina Class of 1990. The proceeds from this year’s event will go towards the renovation and reconstruction of the College Pavilion and Tuck Shop.
