Norway triumph in Essex

Posted by John Winn

The ICC European T20 competition was completed on Thursday at its Essex venues. There were further wins for Norway, against Gibralter and Germany, thus completing a clean sweep, for Belgium against Germany and Austria, for Austria v Isle of Man and for Gibralter v Isle of Man

Thus Norway were crowned champions with five wins out of five and will be promoted to Division 1 while Germany will be relegated. In the top division Norway's opponents will be Denmark, France Guernsey, Italy and Germany. The tournament will be played in 2015 at a date and venue to be decided. The winners will go forward to play in the World Cup T20 qualifier in Ireland and Scotland also in 2015.

Should you find these tournaments of interest then go to icc-Europe.org where you will find the dates for those to be played later in the year. These include age group and women's competitions.

Also if you are fluent in Norwegian then go to Cricket Norway where you can read about their triumph. If your skills in that language are a bit rusty there are lots of pictures.
