From ICC Americas' June 2008 newsletter
The Peru Cricket Federation (PCF) held its AGM on June 6 at Lima Cricket & Football Club and we were delighted to have the region’s ICC Development Officer, Grant Dugmore, in attendance.
After the usual administrative items, he presented Peru Captain Harry Hildebrand with his Volunteer of the Year award. During the AGM, we were able to reflect on an eventful and productive first year as an ICC affiliated cricketing nation, with particular highlights being the ICC Americas Division 3 Championship in Buenos Aires, featuring Peru’s first international victory and the highly successful inaugural Twenty20 Championship played between four local teams.
There was of course lots of talk of continuing development, to build on these foundations. Grant held a seminar for the new PCF Committee on the morning of June 7th to outline ICC fund allocation, use and accounting. With this in mind, we are putting together a proposal for ICC assistance in the construction of cricket nets at Biram Bingham School, Lima, with the goal of providing much needed extra practice facilities and kickstarting schools cricket. Cricket has been reintroduced to two English language schools in Lima, Markham and Cambridge colleges, and a competitive match between them is in the pipeline.

The AOC touring team commenced their world tour with a short stop over in Buenos Aires where they played two matches against local composite teams. Their first match was played against the ACA Presidents XI.
AOC won the toss and elected to bat first, making a respectable 200 for 7 in their allotted 40 overs. The ACA Presidents made a strong start but fell one run short of their target.
In the second match, played on a wet and cold day, the Buenos Aires XI won the toss and elected to field first. The AOC got off to a good start and ended with 198/8. The BA XI got off to a disastrous start, losing their first 2 wickets with the score on 5 runs. G. Savage (30) and
T. Francis (16) restored some order, but they were all out for 160 giving the visitors a victory by 38 runs.

New York, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Nepal and India.
