Our Story
FalconHawk(e) was formed in the halcyon days of the 2004/05 season when the summers were long and the champagne flowed freely. A team of amateurs who played with amateur ideals; the socialist structure led to a drive for mid-table mediocrity. A strict rule (still followed today) of a new captain each year has worked to maintain the team’s place in the middle. In recent times, however, “professional” mindsets have infiltrated and placed us in serious contention for pennants. This attitude – well below FalconHawk(e)’s status – is a work on for the team.
Currently entertaining club cricketers in Div 6, the glamour grade of Wellington Club Cricket; FalconHawk(e) are an equal opportunities cricket team. It has seen doctors (both of philosophy and medicine), award winning novelists, politicians, mayors, high-ranking officials, engineers and poets in its ranks. Also other professions, like people who paint houses and actors are allowed to play.
