The first match of this tournament was played between Cricketer's Club Haldwani and S.R.M.S. Bareilly with the latter clinching the win. The first match itself was so gripping and provided such a thrill that everyone was left craving for more. Thankfully, these enthralling matches are still going on and those who have missed the show till now, can actually still be a part of it.

Chairman of DPS-Rudrapur, Shri Surjit Singh Grover ji has made such invaluable contributions to this part of the region that we are forced to redefine the word 'norm' in the presence of his towering contributions. He graciously wished all to have an immensely successful sports season and reiterated his pledge to always deliver what he promises.
