Baggy Blues * |
Baggy Blues is an ever-expanding cricket club, formed in 2007 – at the same time as the first ever Hungarian Cricket Association. Baggy Blues participate in the Hungarian Cricket League and also go on club tours outside of Hungary. Our club is welcoming and inviting to all - regardless of cricketing experience or ability - and has an exceptionally strong team spirit which extends well beyond the regular players, and well beyond the boundaries of the playing fields, to include wives, partners, and others who recognise that a Cricket Club is about much more than just what happens on the field. A regular social calendar with our very international player base ensures that a good time is had by all. |

Comenius * |
Cricket was played for the first time at the Comenius Grammar School freshers' camp in September 2006 - due to the enthusiasm of some students, training commenced after school on weekdays and on Saturdays. Since then, the club has expanded greatly, with teams competing in the Hungarian Cricket League (coming first and second in the Development Division in 2009) as well as travelling extensively throughout Europe to compete in various tournaments. The club has practice nets at the school and plays matches on a Flicx pitch on the football pitch of the nearby village of Iszkaszentgyorgy. Coach Andy Grieve regularly takes his players to demonstrate cricket at other schools and at village festivals. |

Dunabogdany |
Dunabogdany Cricket Club (DCC) was formed in 2007 as a direct result of the first ever public meeting for Hungarian cricket. The historic meeting of 15 people at Becketts Irish Pub, Budapest in February 2007 resulted in forming the foundations of the club. Adrian Zador, Laci Kresz, Mate Benczes, Steve Anthony and David Brown were all present at that meeting and all remain players in the squad. DCC has a serious claim to being the first senior Cricket Club to be established in the history of Hungarian cricket. This is something we remain proud of. Dunabogdany Cricket Club and its members, although at times never a million miles from controversy, continue to be one of the most productive clubs with regards to the true development of the sport within Hungary. Many of the club's members have been and remain influential in promoting the sport and its increasing interest. |

Phoenix |
Phoenix Cricket Club is a club for cricket enthusiasts as well as players. As the name implies, at Phoenix CC we have a ‘never say die’ attitude to every game, but this competitive spirit is complemented with a friendly attitude running throughout the club’s multi-national membership. New players are always welcome of course, as are supporters of the game or anyone who simply wants to enjoy good company and a good time. As well as playing as much cricket as possible, we have an increasingly active social agenda and try to get together off the pitch on a regular basis and off season. Phoenix CC actively supports the efforts of the Hungarian Cricket Association and we invite anyone interested, or touring sides looking for a game in our beautiful city, to contact us. |

Royal Tigers |
The current reigning champions of the Hungarian Cricket League, the Royal Tigers Cricket Club (RTCC) was previously known as Crown Cricket Club. Tigers have kept the winning streak since the introduction of the HCL. Many of our team members are part of the Hungarian national side which is a great honour to our side and a good indication of the competency shown by us. |

 Raiders travel to Croatia: Next time you see Tim Dixon, just ask him what it’s like to field in a puddle the size of a squash court. Ask any of us actually. Originally, this two-match tour was booked up as a Baggy Blues trip but in the end, with only six Baggies available, the XI who traveled hailed from 5 of the HCA clubs. continued...

Best can't tame Tigers: The second annual "Champions vs Best of the Rest" HCL season opener took place on Sunday 2nd May at RAFC. Following last year's narrow defeat, the Royal Tigers arrived clearly determined to overturn that result against this year's best available players from each of the other clubs in the league. The Tigers were comprehensively successful, running out 30-run winners, 245 all out to 215 all out. The match also provided another small piece of history in the growing records of Hungarian cricket, being the first ever 'internal' 40-over match in Hungary. continued... |
