Table Cricket

The Lords Taverners Table Cricket programme takes place across the UK, with schools taking part in regional heats and culminating in an amazing opportunity to play in a national final Lord's, the home of cricket.

Table Cricket is an adapted version of cricket that is played on a table tennis table with teams of six taking it in turn to bowl or bat. A game of strategy with different scoring zones and carefully positioned fielders around the table, bowlers use a ramp to deliver the ball to the batter who has to hit the ball into the scoring zones, avoidinig the fielders if they can.
