Craigengower Cricket Club


188 Wong Nai Chung Road

Founded in 1894 and originally located on Bonham Road, the Craigengower Cricket Club was constructed for the students of Victoria English School. It subsequently moved to Wong Nai Chung Road, where it has now stood for almost 100 years. The original brick clubhouse was bombed during World War II but was rebuilt with the help of the members. It now houses sports and social facilities and the members are well known for their community work, helping underprivileged children and students in the area. Long-time member Bowie Chan says, “I’ve been coming here every weekend since the age of six. I’d come with my family to swim and play badminton or ping pong. But nowadays I really enjoy how it’s just a 15 minute walk from home so it’s easy for me to work out or dine with friends and family.”
