When the pandemic closed the parks, we kept cricket and community alive — safely and outdoors.
When the pandemic shut down school, sport and social life, CKC refused to let the ball stop rolling.
We adapted overnight — taking sessions outdoors, running social-distanced coaching and keeping families connected when isolation bit hardest.
The project was about more than fitness. It was about routine, belonging and hope for the children who lost the most.
Cricket vs COVID-19 proved that even in the hardest summer, the club finds a way to play.
The parks shut, but the club never closed.
