Cricket teams and supporters from all parts of the world as well as Hong Kong will descend on the cricket grounds at Po Kong Village Road, Kowloon for the final time for the annual Ichor International Hong Kong Invitational Cricket Festival 2007. The three-day event starts on November 30.
The lease will shortly expire on the picturesque cricket grounds, turned into one of the largest sports fields in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Cricket Association in 2001, and the government will take back the land for redevelopment on December 13.
"It's a 'last hurrah' for Po Kong Village Road," said festival director Brad Tarr, "PKVR has been the home of the festival since 2004 so unfortunately we'll have to find a new venue for the tournament next year."
The festival features up to 34 men's and women's cricket teams competing in five divisions using the popular cricket sixes format.

There is lot of cricket in Hong Kong but unfortunately, Hong Kong Cricket and Gov. of Hong Kong are doing very less to improve the game, which is really sad. We need more grounds with bit of International standards otherwise this game is going no where :(
