Did we win promotion or not?

The final ladder is now up on the HKCA site and shows that we ended up in 4th spot.
Here's the ladder:

So we didn't quite make it, it appears. That first match of the season failing to chase 103 came back to haunt us :(
"I'm too distraught to talk right now" - Sir Alex Ferguson, Manager of Manchester Utd.
"I was not in the right frame of mind" - Rory Mcilroy, Golfer
"Bollocks" - John Gaffney, Chairman of Lamma C.C.
Good news is we have 2 bowlers in the Top 10 of the Saturday Championship with Nilu first and Akbar second. Tom W. finished just outside the top 10 in 11th place.
Cheers,
Monty

The Guangzhou Tour
Scheduled for May 10-12, Tom W. (One-Gee) has done some great organising for our Club's tour up to Guangzhou. It really looks a top venue and the weather should be good. Fine accommodation is sorted and is easily reached by the frequent and comfortable trains from Hung Hom.
The latest news is that we anticipate having an 11-a-side, 50 overs match against the best of our hosts - chosen from their 6 teams and we will field 2 teams in a sixes tournament of 8 teams for the Sunday.
We have around 18 players on this tour so everyone will be playing at least one of the days. Expect a very full-on weekend!

The 2012 Cricketers Ball!
What a great night it was to showcase our fine Club.
It was brilliant to see such a good turnout of our Club members with everyone dressing up in their best & finest to make it a special occasion. The venue did us all proud and there has been nothing but positive feedback from the night. It all came to be from the enthusiasm of some of our more recent members – Andy Scott, Ben Cooper and Royce McDonald after a Ball hiatus of 4 years. They kicked the rest of your Executive Committee into action and the rest is now history as far as the Cricketers Ball 2012 is concerned. We have never sold ball tickets as fast as this and there was never any concern in meeting the minimum numbers – and high expectations - from Andy S, our highly efficient Ball organising leader. It takes a great deal of effort, work and many hundreds of emails to make the Ball as good as it is and it was an all-round top team effort from your Executive Committee and added Ball volunteers to pull this off. The HKCC didn’t let us down in any way either and provided for us a great venue, good food and a wonderful and friendly service. Ball goers were met by a glass of sparkly and were soon enjoying the HKCC’s balcony on a nice cool evening to enjoy the views. Monty did a wonderful job of MC-ing the night and I don’t remember him once saying “without further ado”. As well as the night’s main entertainment from Mr. Happy (where on earth did they get that name from?!), we were entertained by our very own Andy Fullard with a little help from an orange toga clad Jess, and I seem to remember late in the evening a rap from our own rapper king, Ben Cooper. It was good to see our former League Captain, Ian Beck and his new wife, Chaka, who had flown in from Oz especially for the Ball and be presented with an unusual wedding cake baked by Andy Fullard’s new wife, Meg. The raffle & auction went better than we could have imagined and we would like to thank prize donors Monty, Sideways Racing, Royce, Neil, Brad, Andy S., Ali and Alex as well as the Banyan Tree & Island Bar on Lamma. Thank you very much! This has been a major fund raiser for our Club and the Committee will decide later on how best to use these funds to benefit as much of our Club & membership as possible. Here's hoping the next Ball will be as successful - whenever and wherever that may be - but let's not think about that just yet, we're still getting over this one. |

... And we're 20 years old
Somehow or other we have made it to the grand old age of 20 and never have we looked in better shape. Who would have thought it when the Club was formed in the Waterfront on Lamma so many years ago. It first started as a source of community sport for the keen, able and not-so-able for the Lamma residents and grew to be so much more than this, bringing great enjoyment over the years to a lot of our Members, and even opposition. The team picture in the top bar is that first team 20 years ago, you might recognise one or two faces from it...
Let's look forward to a whole lot more enjoyment and success.
