School Competitions
ASDA Kwik Cricket
The ASDA Kwik Cricket competition is the main competition for primary schools and is currently played in over 8,000 primary schools across the country. Nationally there are three competitions that come under the umbrella of ASDA Kwik Cricket and these are:
- Mixed Year 5
- Mixed Year 6
- Girls Year 6
In Wiltshire we focus on the mixed year 6 and girls year 6 competitions. The format of both the girls and mixed year 6 competitions is that cluster festivals take place at the end of May/beginning of June each year. These cluster festivals decide which schools will qualify for the county finals and these county finals are then held at the end of June to decide the county winners from Wiltshire. The Wiltshire champions will then go on to represent the county in the regional rounds of the competition.
ASDA Kwik Cricket is a short and inclusive game that is great fun for children to play and is a great first experience of cricket for primary aged children. The rules are easy and simple to follow and schools can apply for a free kwik cricket equipment set through the charity, Lords Taverners.

Dates for 2013 ASDA Kwik Cricket festivals have now been confirmed.
