Global Prizes Announced for University Events

We’re excited to announce the prizes for our university events this summer. More information can be found below, with further details coming soon.

Why

We’re introducing the Holland and Africa prizes because we asked ourselves: What would be the greatest possible story we could create for a group of friends? For us, the answer was a cricket tour to a completely different part of the world!

We believe that it takes just one social cricket match between your friends to realise how fun it is, which could result in the group continuing their team for many years to come, creating great memories in the process. We hope that the incentive encourages groups of friends to give social cricket a go.

Prize 1: Holland

One team from each university event will win a place at our Finals Day tournament in Holland in September 2026. This is a fully paid 4‑day trip for 12 players, including a tournament against the other finalists, team activities, and an awards evening to close out the experience.

From the finalists, one team will then go on to win the ultimate prize: a fully paid 9‑day cricket tour to Africa in January 2027.

Prize 2: Africa

The Africa tour will include three cricket matches, a safari, and a series of additional excursions, details of which will be announced soon. The aim is to create a once‑in‑a‑lifetime trip that blends cricket, adventure, and the kind of story that they can tell for the rest of their lives.

How will it be decided?

1. Cricket tournament ranking
   Each team will be ranked 1-12 based on their performances on the day.

2. ‘Buy in’
   We would like to reward the teams that buy into what we’re trying to promote. Examples include: organising a match against a friend's team; a net session, setting up a team Instagram, a team social, to name a few. These are all things our founder and his friends enjoyed while at university; we are encouraging others to do the same!

Final Thoughts

The Holland and Africa trips are simply the kind of experiences we’d want to do with our own friends. If they help more teams take that first step into social cricket, then they’ve done their job.
