UN Irish Reach Their Holy Grail

The 29th San Miguel Chiang Mai International Cricket Sixes ended on Saturday with five finals and the Awards Dinner. Local favourites UN Irish Pub ended a 19-year search for the Holy Grail as they finally won the Cup, while Stuffed Bearers celebrated their 10-year Anniversary in unexpected style by winning the Spoon. A mini tornado intervened to blow down the sightscreens as Awalii conceded the Bowl final to the Drifters, but the weather cleared as the colourful Red Lion Wombats won the Shield. After the UN Irish Pub had won an exciting Cup final against Wolfpack from the final ball, the last of 105 matches in 7 days saw Floggers and Robbers rewarded for their long-standing support of the Sixes as they won the Plate. The Ladies Cup was the highest standard for many years as Thai Angels came out on top and the San Miguel Thais reached the semi-finals of the Bowl as their boundaries raised 17 500 B for junior cricket. Thank you to all participants and supporters and for all the money raised in Duck fines, FantaSixes and other generous donations. See you next year for a very special 30th tournament.
