Christmas Quiz

A Merry Christmas to all our Members!

To help relieve the stress of all the shopping – and, of course, having no cricket for a while – have a go at our Quiz which reviews the 2011 season and seasons gone by; and ends with one of those “you’ve either heard it before or you haven’t” brain teasers.

It’s worth a go – one of the questions may even involve YOU!

The answers are held within the news items on the this main Stoke site, and in the Stats section of our Play Cricket site – http://sdacc.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/teamStats.asp

For those curious for correct answers before the new year, please e-mail them to Ralphie, (ralphiecoleman@hotmail.com), with your answers and details of an appropriate donation you would like to make to the Clubhouse Development Fund – otherwise the answers will appear on this site for free in the new year.

Enjoy the festive season, and see you all at pre-season nets early next year, (dates will appear on the Message Board on this site when they are confirmed.)
