The Craigengower Cricket Club ‘Staycationers’ conducted a cricket tour of Hong Kong this past month. This was the club’s first tour in 3 years, since the COVID Pandemic, and their first ever ‘Home’ tour, with matches played at the two clubs and Hong Kong’s newest cricket ground – Gin Drinkers Bay.
Now in it’s 128th year, the Craigengower Cricket Club is committed to “Helping China Discover Cricket”, and furthering the game here in Hong Kong.
The tour spanned 4 days, with a function on Thursday night and matches across the weekend. All games were hard fought, exciting matches, and played in great spirit. A memorable tour for all those involved!
