For the first time the NSCA will be conducting a cricket program for youths at the Bedford Basin View school gymnasium from April 16th through to end of June. Sessions will take place on Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pmPlease help us spread the word to friends and family you know in the Halifax Regional area who have kids who may be interested in trying or playing cricket, and direct parents to contact us to register interest. Age range is for kids 10-15 years old, however as we are trying this program for the first time and we are open to provide cricket to kids of all ages until we can better gauge its popularity and the needs for splitting into different age groups.

Registration Day for Halifax Outdoor Cricket League
April 04, 2013

Registration Day for the outdoor summer season is coming up on Saturday, April 6th 2013.
* 50% Discount for students and unemployed

Location: Bloomfield Recreation Centre, 2786 Agricola Street, Halifax
Time: 12pm - 4:15pm   note: registrations will take place in room 1 until about 1:15pm, before being moved onto the stage area in the gymnasium during practice (see further below).

We want to once again stress the importance of players getting down to Registration Day and signing up. Since the sooner the NSCA knows how many players to accomodate in the Halifax Cricket League, the better preparation and planning the NSCA can put into the season and make it as enjoyable summer of cricket for everyone involved. If no-one signs up, we have no league and we have no season - so the support of everyone on this is well appreciated.

Registering to be a member of the NSCA guarantees you a place on a team in the Halifax Cricket League from the start of the season (provided you pay your membership fees). As with last year, the HCL  season schedule features competitions which offer both Twenty20 and 40-over cricket matches which are played on Saturday or Sunday afternoons at the Halifax Commons.
However there are only few occasions during season where you may be asked to play twice on a weekend. Also if you work on either a Sat or Sun in summer, your team manager can roster you for only days you can play with the team. The HCL season runs from beginning of June through until October. First-time members are provided with a team shirt and cap free of charge before season starts.

NSCA Membership Fees 2013

Employed Full-time - $180.00
Students/Unemployed - $90.00  (please present Student ID card, or proof of status, to receive this discounted membership rate at time of registration)

We greatly encourage members to pay membership fees in full at time of registration. Otherwise please pay a minimum 25% deposit and let us know on registration day when you intend to make installment payments before season starts, we are open to a plan that suits your situation.

However, ALL players must be paid up 100% of your registration fee before being included on a team roster and being allowed to play any matches in the league.

HCL 2012 - 40-Over League - Finals
October 14, 2012


Playing on a slow and wet outfield at Halifax Commons on Oct. 14, 2012, HFX-GOld and HFX-Red went all in for the HCL 2012 40-Over Championship.

HFX-Gold won the toss and selected to have a bat first. Dealing well with the conditions, HFX-Gold set an imposing target of 230 runs for HFX-Red, thanks to a good but cautious opening partnership from Amit Joshi and Mohan Pal, and then some explosive but tidy batting from Matt Webb which really set them towards a big score.
In reply, HFX-Red lost 3 early wickets, but soon picked up the pace with a great partnership between Anuraj Gupta and Dinesh Gaddam which lifted hopes for a victory. But in the end, the pressure was too much to handle for HFX-Red as wickets kept on falling at regular intervals. HFX-Gold proved to be too good on the day and sealed the win, and with it the HCL 2012 40-Over Championship. 

HFX-Gold - HCL 2012 40-Over Champs - Winning Squad

Scorecard Summary:
40-over League, Final, Oct 14, Halifax Gold vs Halifax Red
HFX-Gold: 229/7 (40.0 overs): Matt Webb 66, Amit Joshi 45, Mohan Pal 40 | Shailesh Kharol 2/43, Muneeb Ahmedani 2/44
HFX-Red: 142 all out (27.2 overs): Anuraj Gupta 65, Dinesh Gaddam 33 | Daksh Talwar 2/7, Matt Webb 2/41
Result: Halifax Gold won by 87 runs
Man of the Match: Matt Webb

Congratulations HFX-Gold, the HCL 2012 40-Over Champions!


HCL 2012 - Twenty20 League - Finals
October 13, 2012


It was a cold and windy day at the Halifax Commons on Oct. 13, 2012, with the two finalists - HFX-Blue and HFX-Gold battling it for the HCL 2012 Twenty20 Championship.

HFX-Blue won the toss and bowling first, made sure that the batsmen from HFX-Gold never settle down, much thanks to a wicket-full spell by Akhil Kannath Angadi and some economical bowling by Sanjeev Tagra. Some crucial runs from Matt Webb and Amit Joshi in the start made sure that they reached to a decent total of 93/8.
HFX-Blue started their chase with some cautious batting at the beginning, trying to see the new ball through. But some early wickets kept HFX-Gold in the game for a bit. Anmol Zakhmi and Naved Malim got into partnership and with some explosive strokes in the end, made sure that HFX-Blue reached the target with a dozen balls to spare. 

HFX-Blue - HCL 2012 T20 Champs - Winning Squad

This victory means its the first time in NSCA history that a team in the HCL (which is now 3 years old) has won back-to-back Twenty20 League titles (in this case 2011 and 2012). Also HFX-Blue is the first team in the HCL's brief history to win both the Deonarine Cup (season-opening T20 tournament) and the T20 League trophy in the same season.

Scorecard Summary:
Twenty20 League, Final, Oct 13, Halifax Gold vs Halifax Blue
HFX-Gold: 93/8 (20.0 overs): Matt Webb 24, Amit Joshi 19 | Akhil Kannath Angadi 4/20, Sanjeev Tagra 2/2
HFX-Blue: 94/5 (18.0 overs): Anmol Zakhmi 36, Naved Malim 27 | Ashraf Khan 2/17, Daksh Talwar 1/3
Result: Halifax Blue won by 5 wickets
Man of the Match: Akhil Kannath Angadi

Congratulations HFX-Blue, the HCL 2012 T20 Champions!


Maritimes 40-Over Championship 2012

The Maritimes T40 is a round-robin competition where the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward island play each other on a home-and-home basis (as it is known in North America, or home and away as it is known in Britain) with the top two meeting in a final on the ground of the top team in the standings.

It is good to see the enterprise of these provinces trying to bolster development of cricket in the Canadian Maritimes with matches against each other, as well as providing opportunities for those unfamiliar with cricket to try out the sport.

Played on: September 01, 2012
Played at: The Commons, Halifax, NS
Toss: Nova Scotia (decided to bat)
Result: Nova Scotia won by 215 runs
Champions: Nova Scotia

The re-building, restoration and re-vitalization of cricket in Nova Scotia continued with a 215 run win against New Brunswick in the Final of the Maritimes 40-over championship on Saturday (September 1st). Nova Scotia won the toss, elected to bat and powered to a mighty total of 299 for four wickets. This put huge pressure on New Brunswick who struggled to make runs in the early going, reaching 27 for two wickets from ten overs, and going on to reach 84 all out in the twenty-seventh over.

It was, apparently, the fifth consecutive success in this three provinces Maritimes 40 over Championship for Nova Scotia. New Brunswick qualified as a result of two wins against Prince Edward Island (PEI) on August 25th and 26th, following a rain-out of the originally scheduled New Brunswick home game against PEI. Nova Scotia had won all four games in the regular season schedule against the other two provinces. [To read more, click here]

Match: Nova Scotia vs Prince Edward Island
Played on: August 18, 2012
Played at: Teahill Park, Startford, PEI
Toss: Nova Scotia (decided to bat)
Result: Nova Scotia won by 223 runs
Points: Nova Scotia: 2 | Prince Edward Island: 0

Nova Scotia beat Prince Edward Island by a hefty 223 runs to complete four wins from four matches in the round-robin phase of the 2012 Maritimes 40-over championship. Nova Scotia powered to 288 for six wickets in 40 overs, then bowled out the developing Prince Edward Island side for 65 runs. PEI’s scoring rate was quite good at a run a ball, but wickets were lost at an even quicker rate and the innings lasted just 10.5 overs at Tea Hill Park, Stratford, PEI on Saturday August 18th.

Nova Scotia will host the second place team in the standings in a playoff final at The Commons, Halifax on Saturday September 1st. Second place will be decided this coming weekend as New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island will meet at Tea Hill Park on Saturday and Sunday, August 25th and August 26th.

This was Nova Scotia’s third win in three games in this season’s 40 over championship and seems to guarantee a place in the final on September 1st. The matches between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island on August 11th in Fredericton, NB, and on August 28th in Stratford, PEI, will be important in deciding the other finalist. In between those games, Nova Scotia visit Prince Edward Island for a game at Tea Hill Park, Stratford on August 18th.  [To read more, click here]
