Junior cricket this weekend: U11s 10-11 am and U16s 11 am-1 pm. The lads will be gearing up to take on the mighty LFP Morangis on 21st September. Their U15 team are now through to the French championship semi-finals and so will be a real handful for our youngsters. The LFP Morangis senior team then takes on the adults in the afternoon.
Junior cricket training continues this Saturday 7th, with U11s at 10h and U16s at 11h. Training will be very intense this week with the French U15 semifinalists LFP Morangis coming in two weeks for a friendly match - the curtain raiser before their senior team plays the SAC in the afternoon.
We regret to report that Bill Matheson passed away on Saturday 31st August after a short illness. Our deepest sympathy goes to his daughters Karen and Laurie and their families.
Bill was very active in the SAC and a keen sportsman. An attacking centre forward on the football field, a great doubles tennis player and a powerful figure in the introduction of squash as a recognised sport in France. (He also played squash for Scotland as their n° 3). He was a driving force behind the creation of the Squash Section and the building of the first squash court at the Club. He was a Vice-President of the Club from 1977 to 1987.
Over the past weekend SAC had the great pleasure to host the return of the Rhinos, a team from the UK that last visited Paris in the early 1990s. Two excellent matches were played, with a win each for the tourists and the hosts.
Next weekend the opponents are St Brice on Saturday 7th and Le Croq Sportif on Sunday 8th (with a 12 o'clock start.)
