Well we would like to thank and show our gratitude towards all the followers, supporters and fans of USCC for all the support and love that you have bestowed upon USCC. This really means a world and we would definitely not be what and where we are without you cheering for us. It is worth mentioning that with over 900 followers and supporters on Facebook we are one of the most well-followed teams in Sweden and coming from a small town with a big and beautiful heart in southern Sweden, Skillingaryd, this is very unusual in the Swedish cricket scene.
As you all know that in the knock-out based tournament, SM-veckan 2018, USCC won its 1st round match against a division 2 team, Seaside Cricket Club, and were drawn against Jönköping Cricket Association (JCA), an Eliteserie team, in the second round. For those of you who are not familiar with the Swedish Cricket leagues’ structure, Eliteserien is the highest of the leagues followed by division 1 ,2 and 3, division 3 being the lowest. For putting things in perspective, USCC played and won all its matches this year in division 3 T20 league, the lowest of the leagues, and JCA as mentioned earlier plays in the Elitserien. Most would like to put their money on the team with more experience playing in the higher league but USCC players showed why they would be at fault if they did so and underestimated USCC.
JCA won the toss and decided to bat first. The ferocious, accurate and disciplined bowling line up of USCC which comprised of Zabihullah Zadran, Nasir Ayarkhel, Zahirullah Momand, Sami Ibrahimkhel and Mohib Nasar never let any JCA batsmen settle in and score freely. Between them they took 6 wickets and gave away only 71 runs in 17 overs. USCC being one of the best fielding sides in Sweden, ran out 4 of the JCA batsmen and the whole JCA batting line up collapsed after accumulating only 77 runs and did not last for their whole quota of 20 overs and were all out after playing only 17 overs.
The batting line responded just equally brilliantly with Javed Hussain and Faisal Shaikh who scored 21 and 25, respectively. USCC achieved the target in the 12th over at the loss of 4 wickets. USCC players showed faith and confidence in their abilities and never for a fraction of a second doubted their chances against JCA but the manner in which the match was won was another matter altogether. From the first ball of the match to the very last ball, which was hit for a huge six by Zahirullah Momand, while JCA never looked in charge, USCC never gave the charge and control of the match away. USCC outplayed JCA in all departments be it fielding, bowling or batting.
We would like to thank #Skillingaryds Frisksportklubb for the support, love and kindness that USCC have been shown by all the #Frisksportare. This wonderful cricket team, all the happiness that these cricket enthusiasts get from playing cricket, the little that this team has achieved and the aspirations to achieve more would not have been possible without your support, your welcoming hearts and your kindness. We at USCC owe a lot to you.
And once again USCC! We have come a long way, are a much better team than we were last year and will become even better! Stay UNITED! Work hard, play hard, never give up, be proud, stay strong when you lose and be humble when you win. UNITED WE STAND!

No doubt, skillingaryd played superbly in all department and especially in fielding. A well-deserved win. Good luck for upcoming matches.
SCF Allsvenska 30 overs Liga Division 2 kick-started on Saturday the 23rd of June 2018 and USCC, probably the youngest club in Sweden, played its first match against Göteborg Cricket Club (GCC) one of the oldest, most traditional and most experienced clubs in Sweden. After winning the toss and batting first USCC posted a target of 184 runs. The top order fell pretty cheaply and USCC lost its first four wickets rather quickly and GCC bowlers were dominating without any major resistance. To alter the situation in USCC’s favour in walked Zahirullah Momand and Sohail Musazai. Zahiruallah played strokes all around the park and hit 3 sixes and 9 fours to score a 49 ball 78 and Sohail played an anchoring role and scored 22 runs.The partnership helped USCC immensely to post a respectable total of 184 runs on board and set GCC a target of 185.
When it comes to bowling, the USCC bowlers bowled accurately without much success for the most part of the GCC innings. The GCC batsmen showed good resilience, batting skills and temperament to keep the USCC bowlers at bay but the hard work, grit and the will to win paid off finally when the USCC bowlers Zabihullah Zadran, Nasir Ayarkehl, Sami Ibrahimkhel and Zahirullah Momand with handy assistance from the USCC fielders ran through the GCC batting line-up in the final stages of the GCC innings. GCC had 6 wickets in hand and had to score 24 runs in 5 overs and it looked almost certain that it was GCC’s match. But giving up never was, has been or will be a part of USCC attitude. Giving up is not a part of USCC’s fabric. USCC bowlers delivered with the bowl when it mattered the most and the fielders ran and dived around sharply to do whatever it took to win the match and finally USCC snatched the victory from the jaws of defeat and won the match by 11 runs.
Very well played GCC and good luck for the future matches. We would like to thank Borås CC for sending over an umpire who conducted the match very expertly and fairly.
And USCC! Stay UNITED, play hard, be proud of what you have achieved so far and work hard to progress even further.

SM Veckan (Swedish Championship in various sports) is here which means the knock-out based cricket tournament in which 34 teams across all the leagues, from Elite Ligan to Division 3 are taking part, is also here. USCC and WZCC are the only two teams chosen to represent Division 3 Göteborg region.
USCC was drawn against Sea Side Cricket Club, a division 2 team from Göteborg, in the first round of this prestigious knock out tournament and Sea Side Cricket Club (SSCC) hosted USCC in Göteborg on one of the Kviberg grounds. Having won the toss SSCC decided to bat first. Zahirullah Momand and Zabihullah Zadran opened the bowling for USCC. Both bowled well but it was Zadran who bowled his heart out and bowled with pace and accuracy so much so that it was difficult for the opening batsmen of SSCC to even get anywhere near the ball. It was very unfortunate that Zadran did not get any wickets despite putting up a fast bowling exhibition against the SSCC batsmen. Mohib Nasar had a wonderful day with the ball in his hand too, bamboozling the SSCC’s batsmen with his leg breaks, googlies and the straight skidders. His bowling skills earned him two wickets while SSCC’s batsmen were only able to score 13 runs off him. Abdullah Armani bowled well within himself and held a consistent line and length without giving much away. He bowled his quota of 4 overs giving away only 13 runs and sent 2 of SSCC’s batsmen back to the pavilion. SSCC could only muster 102 runs to post a target of 103 to chase for USCC.
Now it was time for USCC to show what they had to offer in the batting department. And boy! That’s what they just did. After having lost their opener on the first ball, Sami Ibrahimkhel and Javed Hussain put on a partnership of 74 risk free and fluent runs. Sami Ibrahimkhel was unfortunately caught on the boundary line after scoring 27 runs. Then walked in Zabihullah Zadran who together with Javed Hussain put on a partnership of 30 runs to successfully chase the target in 12 overs. Zabih scored an unbeaten 16 while Javed returned 51 not out after having sailed the USCC ship safely ashore.
This was a wonderful display once again in all the departments i.e. fielding, bowling and batting by USCC. Keep these performances coming. Work hard, play hard, be proud and Stay UNITED.
We would also like to welcome Faisal Shaikh in our ranks and know that his inclusion will only strengthen our team. Welcome Faisal Shaikh!
UNITED WE STAND.

On Sunday the 3rd of June 2018, USCC played a T20 match against Halmstad Cricket Club in SCF Allsvenska T-20 Ligan Division-3. This was USCCs 5th match in the league and so far it has been all wins i.e. USCC has played 5 matches and won all 5.
Having won the toss Halmstad Cricket Club (HCC) decided to bat first and put on a total of 134 on board giving USCC a target of 135 to chase in 20 overs. USCC never looked in any sort of trouble chasing the target and successfully chased the target in the 18th over losing 6 wickets in the process.
Great all-round performances by Zahirullah Momand, who took 3 wickets and scored 35 runs, and Zabihullah Zadran, who took 2 wickets and scored 31 runs, made sure USCC could maintain its UNDEFEATED status in the league.
With this win USCC has almost confirmed its promotion to the 2nd division after 5 matches with the highest points in the league and the best net run rate so far. We, USCC, still very proudly hold the top spot in the points table. Work hard, play hard, be proud and stay UNITED as UNITED WE STAND.

Hej Allesammans!
Ny säsong på gång för våra cricketvänner, vi hoppas på nya framgångar.
Det som har hängt som ovisshet och väntan över de ensamkommande ungdomarna har nu blivit konkretiserat för många av dem. Flera av killarna har fått besked som pekar på att det hänger ett provisorium över deras Sverigevistelse om inte politiken runt asylärendena ändras, eller att de får den rättssäkra processen som de egentligen har lagstadgad rätt till, oavsett uppgiven ålder.
Oavsett vilket, det som hänt dem sportsligt i Sverige stärker dem var de än hamnar i världen.
Det har bjudits på många fina matcher, och även några mindre fina matcher…
Vi knöt till oss 3 spelare i mitten på säsongen, varav en hade medborgar-skap och körkort, till glädje för sektionsansvarig…bra spelare också.
Vi vann den tidiga serien, och flyttas där upp till div.2. Den senare serien ligger vi kvar i även den här säsongen.
Två grabbar har lämnat laget, den ena fick avslag och prövar sig fram någon annanstans, den andra spelar nog inte cricket längre, om jag är rätt informerad.
Väl mött till nya drabbningar denna säsongen!
