The membership of the club is made up of staff from different faculties, and often includes spouses, friends and family members. Consequently, the get- togethers usually take on the atmosphere of a Sunday afternoon family outing, even though the sport itself is always played with befitting scholarly application and seriousness. Given all the activity, one would think that the existence of the club would be well known to the larger campus community. That, unfortunately, is not the case, quite possibly because cricket does not enjoy the same kind of visibility on our campus as say, games like tennis and football, for which there are many facilities. The two fields on campus on which cricket could be play have never been made available to the club, and consequently, we have remained largely unknown. This obscurity, however, does not extend to the larger Hong Kong social cricket scene: the Chinese University cricket team has been practising the sport on a regular basis every season for the last six years. Since its inception in 1992 the club has gone from strength to strength, so much so that last year, a plan to enter the team for the Hong Kong Sunday League Competition was seriously considered, but ultimately abandoned, when we realized the team did not have the right number of players who could commit themselves to the challenge of a rigorous weekly event. Hence, for the time being, this club will continue to field only a social cricket team, playing about two matches a month We w i ll also be taking part in the Inter-Varsity Sixes Tournament, and the Hong Kong Eights Tournament. In other words, we have a busy season ahead of us. Finally, the club had a thoroughly enjoyable season last year, and it is gearing up for the next, which is already upon us. We are looking forward to another exciting season; and with the aim of sharing that excitement, the club is opening its doors to new members. So, no matter whether you are an avid practitioner of the sport, or would simply like to support it, the Chinese University Cricket Club warmly welcomes you to join the club.
