I’ve received some very good news from Rob Hughes, the Hon Secretary of the Mallorca Cricket Club. After a number of years of enforced inactivity, the island’s cricket club appears to have secured a ground on which to play cricket. Readers may remember that the MCC were obliged to leave the cricket ground they inhabited for many years in Magalluf because the land owners wanted to develop it as part of a grand scheme to redevelop that part of the municipality of Calvia. Ironically, the supposed development never took place and the land has remained idle ever since. Nevertheless, since that time, almost five years ago, the club has sought unsuccessfully to find a new home on which to play competitive cricket against touring teams primarily from the United Kingdom. During this period, the club has attempted to continue to play cricket on various municipal football pitches with limited success. However, the club’s committee has doggedly pursued other alternatives across the island to no avail, as cricket by its very nature demands quite a large tract of land to meet its unique requirements.
