| Houston Falcons Cricket Club was founded in Feb 2003 by the members of Elite Cricket Club. It was the same team that had managed to reach the quaterfinals of Wineter League 2002-03.All the club officials were elected democratically including the captain and vice-captain. Couple of players from other clubs joined the team before the new season began. An arrangement was made with ECC to share the ground at Boone Park for the season. HFCC played their first friendly game against Bhakta Indian Cricket Club (BICC) at their home ground which was won by Bhaktas; it was a friendly game which was enjoyed by both sides. On April 2003, HFCC played their first debut game against Port Arthur Cricket Club at Port Arthur. HFCC won the division chapionship of Pool D in their debut year, and again in 2004 of division 3 and was promoted to Division 2. Unfortunately, even with some extra ordinary effort and hard luck they were unable to qualify for division 1 in 2005 and remained in division 2. HFCC B also participated in the Saturday League Championship in 2005 which was lead by the youngest member of our team Syed Ali Hussain. Ali not only lead the team in a terrific manner but also won the championship for his team. Not all the players of A team participated in the Saturday league championship because the whole idea of entering the B team in the Saturday League was to introduce some new players and based on their talents, give them a chance to qualify for A team and make the team stronger. Once again, HFCC will be playing their summer season of 2006 with some changes such as some different players, different strategy in the team and with a new elected captain Salman Saif.. |
