Maple Strikers Cricket Club

First win on the board for Maple Strikers in the CDCL Weeknight League!

Against a strong CSS Broncos side on a bowling-friendly Welden ground, the boys stayed calm and chased the target down comfortably to secure a solid 5-wicket win.

Started with nets… ended with pints 🍻

We said “let’s discuss plans for the season”
But somehow it turned into:
👉 who’s batting first
👉 who’s paying the bill
👉 and who’s telling the best stories 😄

This is what Maple Strikers is about — cricket, laughs, and a solid crew. 🍁

From newcomers to hard ball cricket to seasoned players sharing their experience — our first season was all about learning, growth, and team spirit.
Back in the nets, ready to take the next step in 2026.
Same brotherhood. Same passion. More memories to come. 🏏🍁

✨ That’s a wrap for Maple Strikers in the Alberta Weeknight Cricket League Div 2!

From a brand-new team to finishing the season with 7 wins out of 12 – what a ride it’s been. We celebrated the highs, learned from the lows, and created memories that go far beyond the scoreboard.

Special shoutout to Yapa, who brought the thunder and literally broke the stump with his fiery pace 🔥

Huge thanks to every player for the commitment, to all our families for standing by us, and especially to Thanuja Molligoda, our sponsor who believed in us from day one.

We ended the season on a win – and with a cheer that says it all. 🍻 Here’s to more cricket, more laughs, and more stumps flying next season! 💪🏏

Match 7 vs CSS Broncos: Dominant Win!

We secured an easy win today against CSS Broncos!
Yapa was on absolute fire — his fast bowling spell had their batters struggling from the very start. He tore through the lineup and took a brilliant 5-wicket haul!

🏆 Man of the Match: Yapa – pace, power, and pure class!

Top of the table and flying high!
Maple Strikers are on a winning streak – full of motivation, energy, and smiles all around.
Proud of the way the boys are showing up every game and giving it their all!
Let’s keep this momentum going! 🔥💪🏽

Back to winning ways!
After a tough loss last week, Maple Strikers bounced back strong with a solid win over Rockies XI. We learned from our mistakes, stayed focused, and got the job done!

Man of the Match: Arjuna Udayanga – his bowling spell was locked in, completely stuck their scoring and turned the game in our favor. Came through with the bat too when it mattered most!
