Women's cricket in Hungary

One of the main aims of the International Cricket Council is to promote and encourage the growth of women's cricket
The Hungarian Cricket Association shares this aim and has placed it as a central aim of its inaugural 5-year plan
In May 2009 women's cricket in Hungary gained a new sponsor - distributor of quality underwear Anita-Hungaria

To celebrate the new sponsorship, the HCA organised the Anita-Hungaria Women's Cricket Festival in June 2009, featuring the first ever match for the Hungary Women team (report and photos)
The Hungarian U17 girls team have so far played in three tournaments in Germany - Potsdam in February 2008 (read report), Oldenburg in February 2009 (read report) and Munich in May 2009
In the 2007 Hungarian Cricket League one female player (15-year-old Fanni Cziraky) played in matches for Comenius Seniors
In the 2008 season, three female players (Fanni Cziraky, Brigi Hotea and Claudia Balogh) from the Comenius Cricket Club squad (which currently includes 15 regular girl players, aged 14-17) played in HCL matches and two others (Mirtyll Hagymasi and Emese Mathe) played in matches against touring teams
In the 2009 Hungarian Cricket League an all-female team competed in the Development Division under the name Comenius Anita Girls and came second
There are currently females playing cricket in Szekesfehervar (Comenius CC), Szolnok (Szanda CC), Bekescsaba, Tiszakurt and Budapest
To qualify as women for international senior matches in 2010, players must have been born in 1993 - Hungary currently has around 20 'women' cricketers
There is no age limit in the HCL
All open practices, nets sessions and matches in Hungary are open to women

Review of 2009 - Anita helps Hungarian women's cricket complete a successful year

The year 2009 will go down in Hungarian cricketing history as one of the most important in the development of women's cricket.

Hungary Girls reach semi-final in Germany

The Hungarian Ladies U17 team reached the semi-finals of the 3rd European Ladies U17 Indoor Tournament but lost to eventual tournament winners Holland. Three victories in the group stage weren't enough for Hungary to set up an easier semi, with Oldenburg beating Schwerin to reach the final. The President's Team did not pick up any points from their 8 group matches.
The trip was a long one, but the minibus provided for free by Fox Autorent in Budapest did the job very well.

Boys beat girls - but CAG still come second

A disappointing end to the season saw the Comenius Anita Girls team go down to a massive 160-run defeat to Comenius Boys. Things started well for the girls and the boys were 6 wickets down with just 63 runs on the board, but then the two best players took over and scored highly to set CAG an impossible target of 213 to win... card
Due to their earlier two victories in the league, Comenius Anita Girls finsihed as runners-up in the Development Division of the Hungarian Cricket League - not bad at all, considering the age and experience of some of the players in the other teams

 

 

Girls leave it late again...

Yet another late burst from Comenius Anita Girls gave them an 8-wicket win over the Tasmanian Devils in their replayed Development Division match. This time it was Fanni Cziraky and Adrienn Zics running every ball to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Caludia Balogh retired on 20, then Brigi Hotea joined her on the sidelines after injuring her ankle on 13. The Devils bowled well, but the running of the girls was highly effective (and sometimes comic!). Earlier, coach Andy Grieve was the only player in the Devils team to reach double figures, hitting 20 off the last over to set the girls a target of 60, which they managed with just 2 balls to spare...

 

 

Comenius Anita Girls win dramatic one-wicket victory over IBM

A late burst from Claudia took Comenius Anita Girls to a dramatic one-wicket victory over IBM. Despite being sick before and during her innings she hit 5 fours to squeeze the team home. Boris took four wickets but it wasn't enough. In their innings Nico top-scored for IBM with 16 and Martin hit 14, but the total of 84 was restricted by good bowling from Adri (3-23), Brigi (3-14) and Mirtyll (2-12) card report + photos
