In the Bologna area and in Rome , two of the local teams (Pianoro and Capannelle) are organizing both games in the week end. They are the most well known cricket teams in Italy and also the most reliable for organization not only on but also off the field.

In my opinion this would be a superb cricket +cultural tour. But we need more younger players to come

It is intended to be a tour suitable for all Club members of any age and families but will be in part at least during school term time.
