Cricket World XI in Corfu   

Cricket World XI in Corfu Greece October 1997 

A substantial party of cricketers young and old made up this successful tour in which CW XI won all three of the matches played. At the same time Kensington CC were on tour as well winning two out of three matches played. Both parties enjoyed a barbeque at the residence of Yannis and CWXI members celebrated an ancient birthday of Professor John White in Corfu town at his invitation and hospitality. We stayed in Gouvia, north of Corfu town.
