History of Scintilla CC
 

Scintilla Cricket Club is based in Barking & Dagenham but boasts its members from all over the great city of London.  In 2003, a group of very close friends (five or six) from four corners of London used to regularly meet at Regents Park on a sunday after noon to play 'taped-tennis cricket' (a tennis ball is wrapped around by selotape)...

 

As the circle of friends gathering at Regents Park increased, so did the hunger to play their favourite sport at a friendly but in a competitive atmosphere.  Very soon a name for the team emerged as CORONA Cricket Club.  In 2005 CORONA entered and successfully clinched the 'All London Cricket League' title.  The club's founders were:  Mr A Naser, Mr D Paul, Mr S Ezdi and Mr S M Z Hossain.

 

After tasting success in its first year of competitive outing, we sought more success.  Unfortunately, with success we needed funds to pay for operating costs.  Until then, the club had been running on the generous donations made by its founders.  Unfortunately, the club had to cease playing league cricket due to expensive costs - but decided to meet at least couple of times a year to play friendly matches.

 

The high spirit of cricket re-emerged amongst some of the co-founders of CORONA and decided to make cricket a community sport rather than just fulfilling individual satisfaction. We decided to take cricket to our community because this is something that we can offer to our friends, families, neighbours, and visitors.  Everyone will agree that a sport is a strong medium of unity, harmony, cohesion and integration.  And, we all have duties and responsibilities towards our society.

 

SCINTILLA CRICKET CLUB was formed in May 2006.  We identified ourselves as a Barking & Dagenham based club with the aim of making the club accessible to whole of East London.
