2009
The first nets
Cracking Willows started with Rufus Gandhi returning to cricket in Singapore and Sandeep U joining those early practice sessions. What began as a small group at the nets became the foundation of the club.
About Club
Cracking Willows began as a pipe dream of Rufus Gandhi back in 2009 soon after he moved to Singapore. Having given up playing following the arrival of his twins in 2006, Rufus decided to try some nets and was joined by Sandeep U, who had also recently moved to Singapore from India.
The club grew from those early net sessions into a Singapore cricket community built around competitive fixtures, weekend cricket, friendships, and the simple pleasure of keeping the game alive for players and families.
