Experience a nail-biting cricket match in Burnaby as university league concludes

LMS Canada University Cricket League action will culminate in a grand finale at Sperling ground in Burnaby on Sept. 25.

Cricket lovers in the Lower Mainland can witness the action-packed sport in-person one last time for the season, right here in Burnaby — unless you can afford a trip to India, where the enthralling World Cup will happen.
