CCA Tigers crowned champions of the PCAAN Super Six Softball Championship in Abuja

The Pakistan Community Association Abuja, Nigeria (PCAAN) in partnership with the Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) successfully organized the 5^th edition of the PCAAN Super 6 Softball Cricket Championship 2018.

The event took place on the 24^th and 25^th of November at the Cricket Oval, National Stadium, Package B with 11 teams participating.

The championship which dated 5 years back started with 4 teams only as the Pakistan community in Abuja decided to give something back to the Cricket family locally. Over the years, more teams have also participated from other Asian communities as well as indigenous clubs.

The Nigeria Cricket Federation decided to partner with PCAAN in this edition and subsequent editions to come because they intend to engage in a more inclusive form of the game that would afford the opportunity to expand the playing numbers in Abuja and the country at large.
