MEDIA RELEASE19 November 2007Teams fly in for a ‘Last Hurrah!’ at Po Kong Village RoadCricket teams and supporters from all parts of the world as well as Hong Kong will descend on the cricket grounds at Po Kong Village Road, Kowloon, for the final time from 30th November to 2nd December at the annual Ichor International Hong Kong Cricket Festival 2007. The lease will shortly expire on the picturesque cricket grounds, turned into one of the largest sports fields in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Cricket Association in 2001, and the government will take back the land for redevelopment on December 13th. “It’s a ‘last hurrah’ for Po Kong Village Road,“ said the Festival’s Tournament Director Brad Tarr. “PKVR has been the home of the Festival since 2004 so unfortunately we’ll have to find a new venue for the tournament next year.” The Ichor International Hong Kong Cricket Festival is an International Cricket Council award winning sports event and one of the largest club cricket sixes events in the world. Past Festivals have featured star cricketers such as Heath Streak, Doug Walters, Jack Richards and Terry Alderman. Cricket teams fly in from Australia, UK, USA, Japan and all around the Asia region to compete. The Festival features up to 34 men’s and women’s cricket teams competing in five divisions using the popular cricket sixes format. Ichor International Ltd Managing Director Mr Bradley Erasmus said, “It’s a shame that the Festival will have to move from it’s home. “The Festival attracts so many people from all around the world to Hong Kong for the camaraderie and love of cricket which Ichor International is proud to title sponsor for the fourth year.” Funds will be raised during the Festival with attractions at the on site Festival Village for the Make-A-Wish children’s charity. Attractions include bouncy castles and stalls for kids, plus a full bar and food stalls. It’s a great weekend’s entertainment, entry for spectators is free on all three days and play runs from 9am – 5.30pm daily. An Asian Cricket Sixes Tour event Media contact: |
