Cricket Anyone

I was walking through Victoria Park once again and this time I took a shot of the Cricket Grounds. In a few short weeks the teams will be out playing. The Stone Marker was erected in 1931 in honor of Col. CY Weaver who was a local politician who had a love for the game. The brown building is the club house.
In a couple of months I will try to get back there and get some shots of some of the games
Cricket dates back to 1882 here in Edmonton when the Edmonton Cricket Club was formed

[alia_801]

Nice shot of the marker and building activities in the background. It will be interesting to see the contrast with a different season :)

[Christie Hicks]

Beautiful stone work on this marker. I can't say that I understand or enjoy cricket, but I do like this marker.

[Debbie Orlando]

Cricket! Something we don't have here! When they start playing, maybe you an post a few shots.

[bkb in the city]

@christiehicks There is a plaque on the other side of the marker with the info on the gentleman it was honouring. I don't really understand cricket either but I am sure I have enough people following me that will enjoy a shot or two of the games

[bkb in the city]
