Guys the time is almost upon us again and we need expressions of interest for attending this years event. Last year we lost to the eventual tournament Premiers by just 2 points! (before being relegated out of contention for the finals but winning the drinking instead.)
Its bound to be a rage, and we hope to do a much better this year. It is close to the date of the Xiamen event, and also to Christmas, so we need to check if we have the numbers. If you would like to come, or if you are a past regular who can’t attend, please make yourself known on the blog. Meanwhile, I look unlikely to make it due to work commitments, so if you can put your hand up for Tour Manager then please also let me know. I will provide details and contacts and support in the organizing leading up to the tour.
This event is part of the Asian Cricket Sixes Tour – for more info please access HERE for details.
Need responses by Friday 20th November. SCC Dragons are looking for players for the HK tour:
- Thursday Dec 3rd: The SCC Dragons are looking for 11 players to take on a HK-based club in a 40 over game
- Friday – Sunday: SCC Dragons need 6-8 players for the HK Invitational 6’s
- Monday Dec 7th: The SCC Dragons will be playing Kaitac CC in a 40-over clash.
We are already sending club team to the 6s, but please let me know if anyone can make the other 40 Over matches. As Champions (never get bored of writing that!) it would be good to be represented in the SCC Dragons.
Cheers
Dipso
Bashers & Gashers / Geishas,
Advance warning of the HK Cricket festival 6′s for 2009, hosted by our very good friends, Lamma Cricket Club. The dates this year are: Friday 4 December to Saturday 6 December.
2008 saw the Bashers send a team overseas to our first ever international 6s tournament. According to the one member of the team who can remember anything past the first evening, apparently everyone had a great time. We even managed toplay some pretty good cricket, losing a couple of very close games including a 2 run loss to the tournament finalists. Other highlights included our Pres. being named best player in the Spoon competition and JC playing for the opposition and soundly beating the Bashers!
Please check this website for some details and photos of last year. (Worthy mention goes to photo No.0536 where the esteemed President does a combination impression of Divinyl & Right Said Fred – perhaps a new nickname?? and to photo No. 0574 where the very elegant Bashers put everyone to shame, incl. some gypsy in a brown tracksuit).

At this stage, we are just trying to gauge numbers. Please let us know if this is a tour that would interest you by the end of August. This is a Bashers tour – so everyone welcome. Further details to follow as they come. Please note you are not bound by anything once you show interest.
If for some reason we cannot raise a team, then HK 6′s will have to ask a different less popular team (such an any with Mike T playing in it). No one wants that.
Cheers
