CRICKET, CARS, AND CIGARS

After two years off the pitch, pros and novices bowled and batted for fame, glory, and bragging rights in MeriTalk’s annual government versus industry cricket showdown.

The Government CIO Cricket match celebrated 300Brand’s 25th anniversary – and benefitted the USO National Capital District.
