fans are being offered the chance to meet some of the biggest names in cricket in a competition to mark the launch of the Hong
Kong Cricket Sixes official website.
The website -
hkcricketsixes.com - contains everything followers of the game need to know about the
exciting six-a-side cricket tournament.
As well as the latest news, team details, event history and corporate hospitality and ticket information, the new site is also offering an
exciting online competition.
For fans under 18, the first prize is taking part in the All Stars Junior Coaching session - conducted by some of the world's most famous
players - and the opportunity of being a ball boy/girl at the Sixes.
Adults aged 18 and over can win an invitation to the exclusive Sixes Welcome Party which will be attended by players from the 10
competing teams.
To enter the competition, fans just need to log on to
the website and follow the simple instructions.
"The Sixes already has a well deserved reputation for allowing fans to get close to the action,"
said tournament director Mark Burns. "Now, with this competition, they will have the chance to actually be involved in tournament-week events and meet the players face to face."
The website was officially launched
on Wednesday and is the latest step in preparations for the 2008 Hong Kong Cricket Sixes,
which will be held at Kowloon Cricket Club on November 8-9.
Australian master batsman Damien Martyn and inspirational former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming have already been confirmed for
the annual showpiece.
Martyn, a key member of Australia's all-conquering team for more than a decade, and Fleming, the most successful captain in New
Zealand's history, will appear for the All Stars in the tournament.
The All Stars will join nine representative international teams - Australia, New Zealand, England, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, South Africa,
Bangladesh and hosts Hong Kong.
