Kuwait, 15 Feb 2014: Friends of CRY Club (FOCC) will be organizing seventeenth Child Rights & You (CRY) cricket tournament for children at GC grounds, Fahaheel Sports Club here on Friday March 27 from 6.30am to 6.00pm.
 
 
The one day ‘CRYcket’ tournament can be partaken by children under 14 years (born on or after January 1, 2000), is a very popular annual family event. The children are grouped into teams in two age categories and play softball cricket while spectators, parents and well-wishers enjoy a carnival atmosphere. Twelve teams each are set to participate in the under 12 years and under 14 years divisions initially in 4 groups in round robin fashion leading to 4 winners who will compete in the semifinals. The 7-over matches will be played simultaneously on 2 playgrounds.
 
 
Apart from the winners’ trophies, medals and certificates from CRY-India will be presented to each player. Experienced umpires will control the games assisted by official scorers. The teams will play in recognition of a much felt need among less fortunate children in the Indian subcontinent and will carry the message of compassion towards them. They will spread awareness of the work done by CRY, an international organization that believes every child is entitled to basic rights of survival, protection, development, education and participation.

 

 
A colourful souvenir will be released to mark the occasion.  Delicious breakfast, lunch and snacks will be available throughout the day, along with bingo, raffle draws and other games for children. ‘With CRY, Everybody Wins.’
