How we feel about the game:
SICC aims to be a beacon for cricket in our part of the world. The
members believe in the game’s unique ability to unite people of
all backgrounds and playing abilities in a spirit ofsportsmanship
and friendship. We are commited to playing the game in accordance
with the Spirit of Cricket which prefaces The Laws of Cricket .
Above all, the club wants players and spectators to enjoy cricket
and to look forward to returning to SICC year after year.
