Historic McGill Univ to have Intramural Cricket from Jan 2019 !

Cricket goes back over 200 years at McGill U. This pic is circa 1907 when it was played regularly on the Quad.

Cricket goes back over 200 years at McGill but in recent years it was late 2010 when the modern club was reformed to be a part of American College Cricket and granted Club Sports status. Now under Hamza Ahmed it’s making more moves.

Starting in January 2019, McGill will be the one of the only Canadian universities to offer cricket as a sport for students to play each winter. The idea was pitched during the summer by Ryne Bondy, a former quarterback with the varsity team who now manages the McGill intramurals program, and members of the McGill Students Cricket Club.

Club president Hamza Ahmad got in touch with Bondy about having a one-day tournament in the fall at the Tomlinson Fieldhouse.

“I understood that the only way anyone would take the sport seriously is by having official intramurals setup under the McGill Athletics & Recreation program…,” Ahmad said.
