MEDIA RELEASE04 December 2008Teams Flock to Hong Kong for Cricket FestivalCricket teams from Japan, Australia, Macau, China, the Philippines and Korea fly into Hong Kong this week to compete against local opponents in the 7th Ichor International Hong Kong Cricket Festival being held at Mission Road Cricket Ground from 5-7th December. Seventeen teams in total, including the defending champions from Shanghai, will compete for honours in this award winning annual tournament designed to celebrate the diversity of the sport with its motto of ‘friendship through cricket’. “There’s hot competition on the field of course, but friendship and camaraderie at the Festival are as important as winning,” said Tournament Director Brad Tarr of Lamma Cricket Club. “For seven years we’ve run our Festival by this mantra of ‘friendship through cricket’ and the strong support from cricketers who travel to enjoy Hong Kong from all around the world is evidence of the popularity of the message,” Mr Tarr continued. The action gets underway at Mission Road Cricket Ground (Tin Kwong Road) at 9am on Friday morning and concludes with a trophy ceremony on Sunday evening. Spectators are very welcome and entry is free. In addition to the cricket action there are a range of social activities for participants to enjoy including a Players Party and a Gala Dinner. The Ichor International Hong Kong Cricket Festival supports the Make-A-Wish children’s charity activities in Hong Kong. The Festival won major awards from the International Cricket Council and Asian Cricket Council in 2005 for contributing to the development of cricket.
