BAMBA CRICKET GALA 2026
The Ultimate Hindu College Colombo Softball Cricket Festival in the UK
Welcome to Bamba Cricket Gala 2026 โ the most unique Sri Lankan alumni softball cricket experience in the United Kingdom ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฅ
Organised by CHCPPA UK (Colombo Hindu College Past Pupils Association UK), this special event brings together generations of Hinduites from the Batch of 1980 to the present day for a day filled with cricket, friendship, nostalgia, food, music, entertainment, and family fun ๐๐ค
Unlike traditional leather-ball tournaments, Bamba Cricket Gala is built for everyone who has ever played cricket โ whether it was on school grounds, in local streets, backyard pitches, empty lands, or with friends after school ๐โจ
This is not just about competition.
This is about reconnecting with classmates, reliving memories, and celebrating our Hindu College spirit together again.
