Original Club President Roger Metcalfe introduces original Slovenian President Milan Kučan to a young cricketer.

Ljubjana players relaxing during the first ever match. Club stalwart Greg Davies (Standing with arms crossed) blissfully unaware of the many games he would lose while playing for Ljubljana and Slovenia in years to come.

  Sadly, Ljubljana crowds would never again reach these numbers, nor would we get such comfortable seats.

David Lloyd forgets his whites.

Original wicketkeeper and opening bat Francis King.

A television journalist poses with the team for the camera. Her story would be watched by one Urban Blaznik, who decides that he would like to try this new sport. Urban recently starred with the ball in the 2006 Belgium tournament as a Slovenian international.

The two teams pose for the cameras. Included here are future regulars such as Dan Ryan, Greg Davies, Joel Smith, Francis King, Roger Metcalfe and David Lloyd.

One of the driving forces behind the first game, 1st Captain Sander Winckel and wife Monnie. 

Slovenia's first President Milan Kučan presents the cup to the winning team. He wonders which Ljubljana player drank all the booze it had previously contained.

Now that's what you call a cricket tea. Wouldn't mind one or 2 of those scones right now, actually.

Marilyn Grimble in the crowd. We have Marilyn to thank for most of these photos and a lot of the background information.

David Smith takes the honour of the first picture of a Ljubljana player holding a beer.It is a tradition that several senior players take very seriously in upholding, believe us. David kindly sent us 3 of the above pictures.

The after match party and presentation to the Hague captain. Roger Metcalfe laughs politely at the usual jokes.
