Welcome to the Pattaya International Cricket Sixes

Excitement is building as the second Pattaya International Cricket Sixes, the newest sixes tournament on the Asian Cricket Sixes Tour circuit and the first cricket tournament ever to be held in Pattaya, gets closer. Thailand's newest sixes tournament, played at the newest cricket ground in the country, will be played from 21st - 24th April 2011 at the fabulous Horseshoe Point Resort.
 

Up to sixteen cricket clubs, officials and supporters from across the Asia Pacific will compete for silverware and prizes in Cup, Plate, Bowl and Spoon Divisions at the new picturesque oval, and enjoy the convivial atmosphere around the boundary and at the evening parties and social functions.

 
Horseshoe Point Resort is a wonderful, high quality retreat which boasts a new, lush green cricket ground and 2 practice nets set in landscaped woodland within 2 minutes walk of the hotel. The large development also offers a wide array of attractions including a petting zoo, horse trekking, quad bikes and a paintball site. More sedate options are available at the resort swimming pool, restaurants and bars which are within just a minutes walk from the cricket ground itself.

 
The new cricket ground was laid in February 2010 and is the home ground of Pattaya CC.

 
Pattaya is Thailand's most visited city after Bangkok and offers a wealth of attractions including parasailing, jet ski's,sport fishing, bungee jumping, diving and of course it's wonderful beaches, plus it's famously lively nightlife. It's also a golfers paradise with 21 golf courses within 1 hour's drive of Pattaya.

.

ACST sixes tournaments are famous for their spirit of camaraderie and "friendship through cricket" and the Pattaya Sixes will be no exception. All teams are encouraged and expected to have a drink and a chat with each other, make new mates and share cricketing "war stories." The tournament will have players flying in from many different countries all with a passion for cricket, and what better way to celebrate the spirit of cricket but by having a great time, in good company, in wonderful surroundings and at great functions and maybe even earning some silverware too!

 
All cricketers of all abilities are welcome to play in this magical tournament which boasts some of the best facilities and social functions on the circuit. We're looking forward to a fantastic week at the second annual Pattaya International Cricket Sixes.

Welcome to Horseshoe Point

“We are very delighted to witness the success of cricket at Horseshoe Point, Pattaya. I was convinced [in 2009] by Simon Philbrook, the Chairman of Pattaya Cricket Club, to put a pitch at Horseshoe Point as our aim is to become a good sports club in the Eastern Seaboard. Cricket is a very important element for the development of our sports club. We have received many interests from the local and expatriates communities in Pattaya. They are all cricket lovers. Within a short time span, we have received many advice and supports from key people in the world of cricket, not only in Thailand but also other countries, therefore, I have no doubt that it will be a very successful activity at Horseshoe Point. We are all looking forward to the grand event of Cricket Sixes in April.”
