Mad Dogs Cricket Club

Inviting all the Cricket lovers in the area for a fun filled evening with the

Major event planned to mark the beginning of the Connecticut Cricket Inc!!!!

Hope to see you all!!!

Dogs started their 2022 season by touring the sunshine state..Jacksonville, Florida was the latest addition in Dogs touring history.

Apart from 2 closely contested games ( one loss and one win where we saw a blistering 100 by Rahul Slathia ) all the families had a great time soaking up the ☀️ and enjoying the 🏖!!!!

Big thanks to Jacksonville Cricket Association and specially to Vikrant Vishwarao for being such amaxing hosts and making this extra special for Dogs…

Looking forward to many more tours over the years

Great end to the season by winning the 3rd trophy for the season and completing the “league” slam.

Dogs were crowned the NYCL T20 champions after beating Dynamic CC and Blade Warriors in consecutive games

On a cold day in New York, this was the perfect way to end the season that has been nothing but perfect

Mad Dogs women team were the runners up of Narayan Cup 2021. Great achievement by the team which was formed just 6 months back.

It was a busy weekend for the dogs

The families had a great time off the field with some drinks and food over a lazy lunch. Lots of planning and banter was the theme of the day and it was good to see everyone come together to celebrate the 2 big victories

Pups won their first trophy by defeating New Milford in the final of the youth tournament. Special thanks to Jay Singh for organizing this

On the seniors front- Dogs continued their winning run and won its opening matches in both NYCL T20 and Danbury T20 tournament

More trophies to follow!!!!

Winning is not everything
It is the only thing
- Vincent Lombardi

And it happened….Dogs capped their exceptional SCL season by comprehensively beating New Milford in the final and winning the SCL for the first time in its history. For the first time in SCL’s long history, a team has remained unbeaten throughout… such was the domination

It could not have been a better story as the same opposition had defeated us at the same ground by restricting us to the same total in the last SCL final. We just turned the tables this year

We had some great support from the orignal founders of the Norwalk cricket club which laid the foundation for this SCL squad. The celebrations continued late in the night and maybe beyond as well😄😄

Huge call out to all the players who made this happen!!

And the Weekend lived up to its hype

Dogs finally won the WSL trophy after a gap by defeating Columbia CC in a dominating performance. Chasing 180, Dogs charged to victory by 6 wickets. The evening was graced with families, our sponsors US Mobile and international umpire Mr Steve Bucknor

On Sunday- Dogs maintained their unbeaten run in the SCL and defeated New Haven Eagles CC by 5 Wickets in an exciting Semi Final. Again Chasing a score of 170 plus, Dogs batting had contributions from everyone to make it a comfortable victory.

Dogs will play their arch rivals New Milford in a repeat of the 2019 SCL final at Bridgeport this coming Sunday.

Historic opportunity for Mad Dogs to do the double and lift the SCL trophy along with the WSL

Go Dogs!!!

Weekend Update:

With no leagues this weekend, Dogs played against Panthers and won a closely contested friendly game at MDP

Sunday was an eventful evening with an intraclub match which had lot of players playing together after a long time. After an exciting game which was filled with some intense moments, all the players and families got together for some food and drinks

Next week is a big week for the club as we face Columbia in the WSL final on Saturday and New Haven Eagles in the SCL semi final on Sunday.

Dogs look on track to get these 2 huge trophies back into its cabinet!!!!

Hope you dont have to strangle the players like this year!!!

Big Thanks to The Philadelphia Cricket Club and Merion Cricket Club for hosting us for our 1st tour this season. The results of the matches were inconsequential as all the 3 teams had a great time in the field and continued their long lasting relationship

Dogs had a balanced squad with few first timers and few experienced players...In line with the tradition, there was plenty of action off the field as there was on it.

This turned out to be a special moment for Mad Dogs legend John “bunny hunter” Moore as he scalped his 800th wicket for the Dogs!!!

All in all a great trip largely due to the amazing hospitality of both the clubs!!!

Waiting for the next trip...
