It is a great achievement for the association as whole and a big success for the subcommittee of KCS.
The games were done in 20/20 format in limited 10 over matches.
A special thanks to Detroit Stallions led by George Chakkacheril for their effort to join us all the way from Detroit. The championship was earned by Shaji Edatt and team while Sybu Kizakkekuttu and team settled for Runner up. Most of all, the very first man of the match award went to Jubin for his amazing batting.
The day began with a moment of silence by the team members to observe the death of Mrs. Annamma Kaniyalil, the mother of the KCS president. In total there were 4 teams captained By Cyril Parayil, George Chakkacheril, Sybu Kizakkekuttu and Shaji Edatt. The games were so entertaining and well worth it for the spectators.

Easter Egg Hunt A Success
April 4th, the morning was sunny and a little chilly but that didn’t stop about 50 kids as they hunted for colorful plastic eggs scattered across the grass at Lake Opeka in Des Plaines. Children enjoyed hunting for Easter Eggs, getting their picture taken with the Easter Bunny and filling their basket with goodies. Special thanks to MS GRANITE INC for sponsoring Dunkin Donuts and Coffee and all parents who braved the little chilly morning to let your kids have fun.
