GALA'S cricketers have shown themselves to be a hit in front of the camera.
The club were named as one of five winners of Cricket Scotland's Love Cricket #choosecricket contest which asked clubs and schools from across the country to make a 30 second video explaining why they love the game.
Each of the winners received £500 worth of Cricket Factory junior equipment and were hosted by Cricket Scotland at the recent Scotland v Afghanistan international.
Gala's entry centred on cricket being a game open to anyone, no matter your gender, age or race.
Ross Patterson, Gala CC's junior convenor, said: "Everyone involved in the video had great fun, although there were some interesting out-takes which did not make the final cut.
"We were delighted to be among the winners chosen and promote the message that the sport is a game for everyone, which ties into our involvement in Cricket Scotland's Thriving Clubs programme.
"On that theme, we have an girls/womens open day this Sunday (17 July) at the club from 10am to 2pm to allow females to try the sport."
The video is available to view on YouTube by typing in 'Gala CC - choose cricket'.
