As the Fifteenth Chiang Mai International Cricket Sixes, being played
out at the 104-year-old Chiengmai Gymkhana Club Cricket Ground finished
the fifth day, the top teams in the four divisions look set to play into
the finals to be held on Saturday -
particularly the Darwin Dilettantes and the Kiteboys. Mike Gatting's Ashwell
Crusaders, in spite of some losses, could recover through skipper Gatting's
powerful batting.
Meantime, on the adjacent two grounds, the Thai schoolchildren had their
own competiton in the Third Sixes 'Sawasdee Cricket' Cup. With much excitement
and laughter, the Sai Moon A School won the Grade Six competition, while
the Sai Moon B won the Grade 5 Division.
