Countries praise EuroTwenty20
30-07-08
All of the countries who took part in the Carmel European Twenty20 tournament were full of praise after a great week of international cricket!
Please accept the Czech Republic's thanks for the tournament. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the lads are already expecting to return next year!
You all made the event so special, and people, not only the players but people in cricket in general, should take their hats of to you for the event in Carmel.
Well done on the tournament,
Thanks
Timothy Hort
Czech Cricket Union
On behalf of Cricket Slovakia I would like to thank you for the wonderful experience we have had in Wales.
Everything was really perfect. The ground, our accommodation, your hospitality and people around. It is difficult to thank someone personally, because I do not want to omit anyone but special thanks go to Charlie Bass and Timothy Abraham, his brother Andrew and their parents.
The cricket that we have played and seen was really special to us. We love this game and therefore I just want to tell you once again how much we have enjoyed our stay with you.
You've done an excellent job. Hopefully we can show you some Slovak hospitality in the near future.
You are welcome here anytime.
Best regards

Great job again to you and all your family Tim for a fantastic tournament! please thank Charlie Bass and everyone at the club for making me feel so welcome as well!
I had a great time and - I'm not just talking about meeting Maria! It was no doubt one of the best weeks of my life.
Great to meet you and Angus of course, hopefully I’ll be able to bring a France team if you do the tournament next year.

After a most enjoyable cricket week at Carmel I am now back down to earth in sunny Croatia. Our homeward journey was uneventful, in common with cricketers worldwide we had many discussions focussed on how we can do better, and hopefully we will if there is another tournament.
You, and the club, are to be congratulated on calmly and skilfully negotiating the pitfalls associated with bringing together such a disparate group of cricketers.
The Croatian team have asked me to thank you for your efforts and look forward to the opportunity to participating again in the tournament you have started.
My regards to Mr Ingo Abraham who provided me with good company when he had some respite from his 'official' duties.
Hvala i Dovidenja

Hope you all are doing fine after a hectic 10-day schedule which involved a lot of hard work before and after the tournament.
I on behalf of United Cricket League of Russia would like to thank Timothy Abraham and family members and all the other organizers, sponsors and everyone at the club who worked day in and out to make this tournament a success.
All our group members have high regards for everything that was done and hope to try and make such exchange of tours more frequently.
This trip has definitely thrown some light on the Russian cricket among the other playing countries and we hope to continue with our hard efforts, the aim of which is popularizing cricket in Russia.
Thanks for everything once again.
Cheers
