Werewolves Cricket Club, fondly known as Werewolves CC, is a distinctive cricket team hailing from Portugal, established in the year 2005. At a time when cricket was still finding its roots in the Iberian Peninsula, Werewolves CC emerged as pioneers of the sport in the country, slowly but surely cementing their place in the local sporting landscape.
Over the years, the team has notched up a number of achievements, earning them a reputation as formidable competitors. One of their most memorable accomplishments came in 2013 when they clinched the elusive Iberian Cricket Championship. This victory marked a pivotal moment, highlighting the growth and potential of cricket in Portugal. The Werewolves have also been semi-finalists in the European Cricket League on two occasions, further testament to their rising stature in regional cricket circles.
The team boasts a blend of seasoned players and young talents, with João Silva – a name synonymous with Portuguese cricket – leading the pack. Silva, a masterful all-rounder, has been instrumental in shaping the success of Werewolves CC. His ability to chip in with both bat and ball has often turned matches in the team's favour. Another key figure is Rahul Patel, whose aggressive batting style and knack for finding boundaries make him a crowd favourite.
When it comes to notable rivalries, encounters with the Lisbon Lions are always eagerly anticipated. These matches often swing pendulum-like, filled with high drama and passion, embodying the spirit of competitiveness that both teams treasure.
In terms of playing style, Werewolves CC is known for their aggressive approach, particularly with the bat. They champion an attacking mindset, looking to dominate the opposition right from the first ball. Their bowling, while perhaps not as fearsome, utilises clever variations and strategic field placements to unsettle opposing batsmen.
A unique tradition within the club is the post-match feast featuring bacalhau (salted cod), a nod to Portuguese heritage, allowing players and fans to celebrate their shared culture and victories alike.
The Estádio de Alcântara, Werewolves CC's home ground, provides a picturesque venue that comes alive with passionate fans, draped in the team's black and silver colours. The fan culture is a vibrant tapestry of local cricket enthusiasts who bring drums, chants, and an infectious enthusiasm, creating an atmosphere that energises players and intimidates visitors.
All in all, Werewolves CC is more than just a cricket team; it's a symbol of the burgeoning spirit of cricket in Portugal, carrying the legacy of the sport forward in a nation predominantly known for football.
