Asian Cricket Sixes Tour in Phuket 10 -20 April 2014

The newly refurbished Republic Phuket Football Ground & Kata Group Resorts Thailand will play host to the Asian Cricket Sixes Tour (ACST) 11th Annual Phuket International Cricket Week 2014 from 10 to 20 April 2014.

ACST Chairman Michael Maher said he was very impressed with the new state-of-the-art clubhouse, the new re-laid surface of the pitch and the excellent new facilities available at the ground.

“I am looking forward to seeing the teams in action at this brilliant ground and thank the Kata Group Resorts Thailand for investing in the future of sport and tourism for Phuket,” Mr Maher said. “The ground staff are working with us to ensure that this year’s tournaments are memorable in making 2014 an excellent event.”

The Republic Phuket Football ground is about 20 minutes’ drive from Kata and Karon Beaches where the teams stay. We are excited to be amongst the first to enjoy these fantastic enhanced facilities.

Mr Maher said millions of Baht had been raised at the ACST events over the past 10 years for Tsunami relief and to support orphans and Junior Cricket Development in Phuket.

Teams from Australia, the Middle East, the Sub-continent, England and the Asian region are expected to play in the tournament, joining Phuket teams which included young local players funded by the ACST and supporters.
