    CRICKET HONG KONG President’s report Treasurer’s report Director’s report Independent auditor’s report Financial statement Exco attendence Men’s coach report Women’s squad report Development Hong Kong T20 Blitz Domestic cricket CONTENT President’s report Overall one would have to describe the past year as being somewhat disappointing compared to our expectations at the beginning of the year. After experiencing several years of strong, positive financial growth, together with ever improving National Team results, combined with a steady League organization and strong development programs, our expectations were high for 2016/17. Both national sides, Men’s and Women’s, played exceptionally well in the tournaments they were in during the year. We invested heavily in people and marketing expenses throughout the year and despite a strong objective that we would still make reasonable money by year end, we did not achieve that target which was disappointing. Partly as a result of our over ambitious and not thoroughly researched and executed dream of using the Guangzhou Stadium as a ground, the prioritizing of League fixtures fitting into the National Team program, plus the loss of our previous Cricket Operations Manager at the start of the 2016/17 League planning process, we ended up with an ever changing League and games schedule which was frankly very frustrating to many, and we must apologize for the scheduling difculties in which our local Leagues operated last year. There is a determination for a complete change in this area and, with the experience of our failure last season, every efort will be made by all concerned in ensuring our League programs for 2017/18 are sustainable, logical, and fair to all the parties in our Association’s “Three Legged Stool”.
