DBCC’S BIG PLANS FOR 2022

Posted in : News on by : Around DB , , , , , , , Comments: 0

Founded in 2005, Discovery Bay Cricket Club (DBCC) sets a high standard when it comes to the promotion and development of cricket both within DB and throughout Hong Kong. To ring in 2022, the DBCC Lions have been invited to play in a Hong Kong-wide Beach Cricket Tournament to be held at different Hong Kong beaches including DB (Tai Pak Wan), Mui Wo, Pui O, Repulse Bay and Clearwater Bay. The tournament is slated to start after Easter, with matches for six teams held every two months. DBCC Lions is the only team who will have the opportunity to play in each leg of the tournament.

DBCC is chaired and led by Cricket Australia- and Cricket Hong Kong-accredited, Level 2 Cricket Coach Nilesh Jhaveri. “DBCC provides a structure under which all players across both genders, regardless of age or ability, can thrive,” says the DB resident, who also runs the primary and secondary cricket programme at Victoria Shanghai Academy, Aberdeen.

“DBCC coaching sessions take place at the Discovery Bay Recreation Club nets,” Nilesh adds. “Our batting and bowling clinics are a great opportunity for players, aged 16 and up, to fine tune their technique. Senior squad training takes place on Sunday mornings from 10am onwards.”

In addition to the cricket coaching, DBCC provides players with the opportunity to compete. Club members compete regularly throughout Hong Kong, notably in the CHK T20 Challenge League, HKU vs. DBCC 1997 Handover Trophy which is a 30 overs, five-game series.

COVID-19 restrictions allowing, Nilesh hopes to get the DBCC Lions touring internationally again this year (T20 Coconut Cup in Phuket, Chiang Mai 8’s and Asian Cricket Sixes Tour circuit). The DBCC Lions were Shield Champions in the 2020 Chiang Mai Big Bash, and in 2019, they won the Thailand T20 Tri-Series Tournament, taking home the Golden Coconut.
