Register Now for American College Cricket Mid West , Ivy League, North East & Mid Atlantic C’ships!
The Mid West Championship was the first American College Cricket Regional back in Sept 2010. The Finals was played on the Ohio State campus, and attended by then Ohio State University President Dr E. Gordon Gee. Dr Gee presented the winner’s Trophy bearing his name to the OSU Cricket Club, and also joined the American College Cricket Advisory Board.
“We loved playing on the Ohio State campus field and in Columbus, where the fields were great. However we feel its a necessary challenge to move the Regionals now and again to help spread the game,” explained Lloyd, “So this year the Ivy League Championship will be in Schnectady New York, and the North East in Boston.”
So this year the Mid West Championship moves to Detroit and it may be larger than ever due to the availability of many fields, thanks to Susheel Bhat and MishCa. The Dates have been changed to Oct 3 & 4. Detroit aka Motown also makes it easier for American College Cricket teams from Canada to participate though Ryerson has traditionally played the North East Regional. A number of new teams are in the process of becoming ACC members in order to play.
