Street Cricket Tournament in Waterloo

On Wednesday the 14th of April, the best StreetChance teams from ten London boroughs covering Essex, Kent, Middlesex and Surrey came together to compete in the "Battle of Waterloo".

The unique event showcased the programme that Pitch Perfect will bring to London communities over the next five years. It also demonstrated the essence of StreetChance, which aims to bring cricket into urban areas using shorter games that can be played anywhere with a hard surface.

Pitch Perfect, through StreetChance, will give thousands more young people the opportunity to play cricket, in areas lacking green spaces, that are hard to reach through traditional clubs. To find out more about Streetchance Click here.
