Have you ever wondered where the phrase "a sticky wicket" originated? Find out that and more about the history and practice of cricket with speaker Clarence Modeste, who was inducted into the Cricket Hall of Fame in 2011. He has been a member of the Staten Island Cricket Club since 1961 and president since the 1990s. Many cricket clubs are organized by nationality, but SICC is open to all comers, and has hosted matches with local, national, and international teams. Among the accomplishments of which Modeste is most proud is the successful introduction of a program for organized youth cricket to Staten Island CC in 2010 at which boys and girls, aged 5-18 years, are taught the game. Refreshments served. $10 for nonmembers.
