Young Talent Cricket Academy organized ‘’The Nissan Gulf Cup’’ Six-a-side tournament for the first time and was a great success. First round matches were played in DPS Jebel Ali grounds last weekend (20th& 21st April). We saw the talents of the young players throughout the first two days of the tournament. The aim of this tournament was to identify talented cricketers & giving them an opportunity to show and improve their talents, which YTCA had been doing for the past 14 years. We noticed that lots of parents were involving in the tournament & encouraging their children to get the best out of them, tournament sponsored by Nissan, Unicare Medical Centre, Sandisk, Sana Jewelers, India Club and Winterhill Largo.Under 09 & Under 11 matches were played on Friday the 20th April 2012.
