Red Bull Catch 2:2 returns to the UK for a second year, bringing a thriling, fun and fast paced take on the quintessentially English game of cricket. Throughout May, June and July teams will go head to head for the chance to compete in the final to be held at an England One Day International.
In true Red Bull fashion, the traditional Laws of Cricket have been defied to create an accelerated format of the game that can be played by four people, in 15 minutes - guaranteed to be packed full of action from start to finish. The rules are simple: two teams, two players and two overs. That's all there is to it. Rapid, rule-breaking and really good fun. The competition will take part at 16 Universities throughout the UK as well as in 8 different ciry parts, so there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved. What better way is there to enjoy the great British outdoors with some mates this summer...?
What is Red Bull Catch 2:2?
