You probably wouldn’t consider cricket a seminal New Brunswick pastime, but maybe you should: games were being played in the Maritimes as early at the late 1800s, says Cricket New Brunswick President Aditya Aggarwal, and the sport is part of the area’s heritage. And while cricket might have lost some ground to other team sports in recent years, it is making a comeback. Cricket N.B. is actively working to attract new players. Aggarwal says members visited elementary schools last winter to introduce cricket to kids, and are running a program this summer aimed to teach 5- to 11- year-olds basic cricket skills. The PSO also ran pre-season practices so interested adults could learn the fundamentals before joining a team. Cricket is a technical sport with lots of rules, says Aggarwal, but that shouldn’t deter players. Rather, teams just really have to work together. And while cricket is certainly competitive, there is also less animosity between opposing teams than you might see in other popular team sports, says Aggarwal.

In the end New Brunswick scored 119 in their allotted 20 overs losing the game by 67 runs. Sunday morning saw a delayed start due to wet ground conditions.

With the passing of Betty MacFarlane, Athletics New Brunswick lost the ―grand lady‖ of Track and Field in our province. Betty(Elizabeth Jean) had been involved for over 40 years in Athletics at the provincial, national, and international level in officiating as well as her contribution together with her late husband Art ensured that the Leadership camps run by the Royal Canadian Legion in helping the youth develop in our province for over 30 years. In 2004 Betty was awarded the Lifetime Volunteer Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to sport in our province at the Sport NB annual banquet. In 2002 a local coach was asked to comment on Betty and below is their response
―As a novice coach in the very early 1980s Betty taught me much about the technique of high jump. As I rose to certified Level 3 in High Jump, I came to realize the depth of knowledge this lady had. I also quickly recognized the dedication to young people that she had, and has. No jumper in this province can ever say ―Betty MacFarlane never helped me.‖ As an official she attended, until very recently, and actively participated in every provincial competition in New Brunswick. With every athlete she took pains to give them advice on how to jump and critiqued their skills in a most positive way.‖ We can think of no better way in congratulating Betty for helping time and time again our young athletes to become all that they can be. Thank you Betty.

QUESTION: Do you think there is a connection between sport and politics?
Jessica Scott Fredericton
Jennifer Billings–Graham Radio Host 92.3 FredFM Fredericton
Shawn Crawford Saint John
What’s On Your Mind?
"There is a connection between sport and politics in New Brunswick as based on how important the current government deems sport and wellness is how much funding becomes available to this department. Hopefully our new government sees the importance of sport and wellness and incorporates innovative practices for the kids in NB."
"I think that politics and sports are both highly connected, since athletes and politicians are both highly motivated to be where they are. Discipline is another connecting quality that both sports and politics share. Great qualities for any of us who strive to be healthy!
―In my opinion there will always be a direct link between politics and sports, everything from location, to financial support, all the way down to players being selected based on their location. It's an unfortunate reality where allot of decisions are made for the wrong reasons‖.
