Flicx Cricket Pitch.
The HCA is pleased to announce the new Flicx Cricket Pitch was officially ordered today from the main Flicx supplier in the UK. The pitch is expected to arrive in Hungary first week in April and in time for the beginning of the 2009 cricket season.
The pitch will be based at the home ground of Dunabogdany CC and Phoenix CC out in the village of Dunabogdany. It will be available for all matches throughout the 2009 cricket season hosted at the clubs and of course to include the official Hungarian National Teams fixtures.
The pitch will come complete with its own trolley, for ease of transport, and will be rolled out and removed before and after every game hosted at the Dunabogdany ground.
The pitch will be an incredible addition to Hungarian cricket. It will greatly reduce the chance of the bowling of dead and dangerous balls and will give the added confidence to both batsmen and bowler that the game will not be only being played in a very picturesque setting at Dunabogdany, but a safer setting as well.

National Hungarian Team Shirts.
Negotiations are underway with a Budapest polo-shirt manufacturer to produce the new National Team shirts. All shirts will be of polo shirt style, short sleeves and complete with the national Hungarian emblem. It is thought that there will be two colours purchased, a traditional classic white/cream shirt and a red shirt the same shade as the Hungarian National Soccer team. It is planned to use the new shirts for the coming tournaments in Prague and Vienna. Watch this space for further details.
