promote the game further. I thank Tony Jackson for the invitation and I wish them all the best for a wonderful championship with a great history.
The Federation of Indian Associations of ACT, FINACT, is proudly organising the inaugural FINACT T-20 cricket match for the Colliers Trophy for the Indian community in the ACT. The tournament got underway on 5 February 2012 and the final match will be played this Sunday, 26 February at the Manuka Oval starting at 3.30 pm.
I look forward to attending this match and catching up with the President of FINACT, Jacob Vadakkedathu and the tournament committee chairman, former New Zealand cricket great Chris Cairns of Colliers. Colliers, incidentally, are also sponsoring this tournament.
ACT Cricket CEO Mr Mark Vergano has given great support for the tournament. The organising committee members, who I congratulate, are Mr Pavithran, Mr Lakshman Prasad and Mr Arun Venkatesha. I congratulate them, all the various Indian associations and all the participating teams for a great tournament that will have a great finale this Sunday as the finalists, Andra Pradesh and Assam, do battle to decide who will be the champion team for 2012.
I wish Jacob Vadakkedathu, his committee and the Indian communities that have taken part in this whole tournament all the best. I congratulate them for an effort that must have taken a lot to get so many people together over so many weeks and to have this match finally culminate at Manuka Oval this Sunday at 3.30 pm.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.05 pm until Tuesday, 20 March 2012, at 10 am.
