The HCSA were invited to the British International School on Monday 15th June 2009, to hold a two hour coaching session. ICC coaches David Brown (HCSA Chairman) and Stephen Anthony (HCSA Umpire and Disciplinary Manager), conducted the session. Twenty two students from the ages of 10 to 16 along with many parents, attended the session which was held after normal school hours.
David Brown commented: “There were many students who demonstrated great natural ability for the sport and I can confidently say that all present showed fantastic enthusiasm and all were familiar with the rules, this certainly made Stephen’s and my job a lot easier “.
Brown further wished to add: “I have no hesitation in saying that with the ability demonstrated at today’s coaching session; the British International School, in a very short time span, could have a junior cricket team that would successfully compete in Hungary and throughout Europe, at an extremely high level”.
As part of the HCSA’s commitment to develop cricket in Hungary it hopes to continue coaching at the school in the very near future, with a view to forming both girls and boys teams.
Please contact HCSA coaches for further information:

The Old Lake cricket team sported their new kit for the first time on Saturday 20th June when they played Phoenix CC. Fortunately, the team was photographed wearing their new shirts before the rain which came soon after.
Sponsors of the team, formerly known as Dunabogdany Cricket Club, are Old Lake Golf Club and Hotel who are promoting cricket to their membership.
The first Flicx Cricket pitch in the history of Hungarian Cricket was introduced at Dunabogdany CC on Saturday 25th April 2009. Phoenix CC and Genpact CC shared the honours in being the first HCA teams to play on the pitch. The pitch performed well and as the temperature increased throughout the day, it seemed to favour the batsman.
All HCA matches are planned to be played on the Flicx pitch this season, but it is hoped it will also be transported to various locations throughout Hungary to host exhibition matches.
A more detailed report accompanied by photos will follow shortly.
