European Cricket Network events have been played all across Europe this year with over 700 matches in 20 countries. In our annual review, we take a look back at the special memories from a historic year for European Cricket.
European Cricket Network and Guernsey Cricket Board partnered to live stream a COVID-19 Appeal Match as cricket returned to the British Isles for the first game since the coronavirus lockdown.
Featuring the island’s top players, Guernsey Head of Cricket Andy Cornford and Performance coach Olly Tapp selected two T20 teams for a charity COVID-19 Appeal Match, supported by the European Cricket Network.
The exhibition T20 match on May 30, played at the picturesque KGV Ground, raised funds for Guernsey’s COVID-19 appeal and a live stream attracted over 185,000 viewers on YouTube.
"The entertaining T20 match, kindly supported and streamed by the European Cricket Network represented the culmination of weeks of hard work behind the scenes convincing authorities we could do it," said Mark Latter, CEO of Guernsey Cricket and Director of Cricket.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to help showcase the game in Guernsey and support their COVID-19 appeal at the same time,” said ECN Founder Daniel Weston.
