The mostly true story of Poverty Point’s Raggedy Ass Cricket Club
It’s been more than 100 years since Poverty Point’s Raggedy Ass Cricket Club played their first game. Yeah… they were real and a couple of these kids went on to do some pretty amazing things.
In the late 1800’s, while everyone in Windsor, Nova Scotia was arguing over who invented hockey, Mill Island also known as Nesbitt’s Island was home to the Windsor Cotton Mill, a tannery, two shipyards and “The leaning tower of Windsor”. By 1910 the mill was closed, the tower was really leaning, and the local kids had started calling their neighbourhood by a new name. - Poverty Point. We’re only guessing, but with a name like that it must have been full of peaky-blinders-like legends. Well meaning, big hearted bad asses looking out for each other and taking it to rival neighbourhoods.
The Raggedy Ass Cricket Club took it to these same rivals on the pitch.
And, if they didn’t… it still makes for a good story
