The Solomon Islands Cricket Federation (SICF) successfully conducted a special cricket training program for Red Cross Development School in Honiara in partnership with the Equity Fund under the Australian Government support program.
SICF’s main goal is to continue spreading the game of cricket throughout the country and ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn and play cricket regardless of their background.
In an interview with Island Sun yesterday SICF president Sajeewa Liyanage said the training session was a one-hour program conducted yesterday and it is a six weeks program that takes place every Thursday from 11:30am to 12:20 pm.
“The children actively engaged in all cricket activities and clearly enjoyed learning the game in a fun and inclusive environment,” Liyanage said.
Liyanage said a large number of girls also participated in the session, highlighting the federation’s commitment to promoting equal opportunities in sports for everyone.
“The session was conducted by Head Coach Mr. Madalakanda together with players from the national cricket team, who shared their knowledge, skills, and passion for the sport with the young participants,” Liyanage said.
The federation highly appreciates the outstanding support provided by the school administration and extends special thanks to Principal of Riffle Range school Mrs. Luisa for giving this wonderful opportunity to introduce and develop cricket among the students.
