 The Finnish Old Boys The Old Boys are a bunch of older gents who enjoy the odd friendly, summer tour trip and associated socials. As a guiding principle we organise and manage our team in order to provide playing and socialising opportunities for more mature cricketers. We play cricket first and foremost to have fun, we always play in the true spirit of the game. Of course we aim to field competitive teams but never at the expense of the higher principles outlined above. Success on the field is desirable, sought after, and gives purpose to competition, but winning is not everything. 2011 Season Friendlies and Tournaments - Friendly games will be organised once the season's league fixtures have been confirmed for all the Finnish league formats. We plan to play Turku CC, Vantaa CC, SKK Socialists and Empire CC's Empiricistss well as our regular opponents the Estonian Barbarians.
