FESTIVAL OF CRICKET
CIVIL SERVICE SPORTS GROUNDS : CHISWICK
SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005


One of the largest Lankan events in the UK, the 17th Festival of Cricket 2005, organised by the Sri Lankan OBA’s, was sponsored by the highly regarded and trusted Sri Lankan business, The Mike Cooke Group.

The main attraction of the day was a knock out cricket competition between the participating school OBAs, culminating in a final match late afternoon. The cricket underpins a number of other activities held around the grounds to keep the captive audience/visitors entertained and occupied.

On the hottest day of the year (a scorching 30degrees celcius), and in fact the hottest day on record for 4yrs in the UK, the crowds came out in force to enjoy the delights that the Festival of Cricket had to offer. With over 4,000 people in attendance ranging from young Lankans to families, there was a little something for everyone.
