The Banquet was well attended by over two hundred members. The event had the warmth of a family gathering and the event master Malay Vyas provided the professional touch to the compering of the event.

Honorable Harris County Judge Ed Emmett graced the event with his kind presence along with other sponsors and presented achievement awards. Judge Emmett spoke with passion on his interest in improving the game of cricket. He wanted TCCL to take cricket further into community working with school districts.
