Next week in Caen, a cricket tournament will take place at an unconventional practice ground, featuring nine teams of refugees competing in fast-paced, T5 tape-ball games. The event emphasizes community spirit, with local support evident through shared food and camping among players. The tournament aims to create a joyful atmosphere, free from the worries of past experiences. Equipment for the players has been generously provided by Project Front Foot, a charity dedicated to helping refugees participate in sports and create communal experiences.
The tournament will unroll over two days with nine teams of refugees competing in a fast-paced series of tape-ball games, emphasizing community spirit.
It's all about having a good time. People being together who want to be together because we love the game. They leave everything else at the door.
The community spirit extends further, with players camping in local gardens and bringing food to share, emphasizing the collective effort and camaraderie among the teams.
The players have equipment due to volunteers from Project Front Foot, a charity that collects and redistributes spare kits to refugee groups.
