The ninth annual tour to Spain to play Sporting Alfas CC will have a twist with the addition of a dual Stag for Kenny Crichton and Brett Wardle.

GCC will once more be flying out to Alicante for our end of season tour to take on British Expat team Sporting Alfas CC.

There's still time to book your place on this official club tour to Spain with 2 matches near Benidorm on 12 & 13 September.

GCC XI vs Sporting Alfas CC 1st XI
(Saturday 12th September)

GCC XI vs Sporting Alfas CC 2nd XI
(Sunday 13th September)

These games take place in the small town of Albir near Benidorm on the Costa Blanca at the ground of Sporting Alfas CC, a team founded by British expats, with a 1st XI consisting of several Spanish International players.

Kenny Crichton has volunteered for the role of Tour Manager and as per last year players are to book their own accommodation on a shared basis in either Albir itself (near cricket ground) or party central Benidorm.

To save on accommodation costs you can share rooms with other players, please email kenny@glenrothescc.co.uk or call him on 07557 403533 for more information on sharing options.

The recommend website to book the hotel through is www.travelrepublic.co.uk, most players are staying as in previous years at Albir Gardens Aqua Park.
