to AL RAWABI for their continued support in sponsoring this prestigious
tournament for the season 2000-2001 as they did it in the last season".

difficult for DCC to carry out the task and he hoped to have their
association in future also.

over 63 institutions in the country, but due to logistical constraints,
a maximum of 32 school teams could only be taken in this Season on
first-come-first-served basis", Hayat Yar Khan said.

AL RAWABI for their confidence in the Dubai Cricket Council and
