McLaren Cricket Club is partnering with UNICEF UK, the UN agency for protection, to organise the 1st AWARENESS Pub Team Cricket Tournament in Scotland, due to be held in May 2009.

The purpose of the Tournament is to support the global ‘Unite for Children, Unite for Aids’ campaign, aimed at combating HIV/AIDS among children. It is also to raise awareness amongst the people of Scotland to the effect HIV/AIDS can have on a population and that all groups are at risk.

Last year the International Cricket Council signed a landmark agreement with UN agency to utilise the value of cricket in the global fight against AIDS among children and youth.

Cricket is a popular game in Scotland and is growing year by year and attracting a growing number of Junior players from all walks of life.

Cricket is also very popular in many of the countries that are most affected by childhood AIDS, including the West Indies, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Cricket will also benefit in Scotland as we will be seen to be adding value to the fight against AIDS with the Tournament and bringing exposure to a varying group of people that cricket attracts.
