One dynamic team.
All your corporate hospitality needs.

At Gala Events we are thrilled to have signed up with new England opener Dom Sibley as he begins what we are sure will be a long and fruitful Test career with his debut in New Zealand. Dom burst on to the county scene in 2013 and in only his third first-class cricket match, while still a student at Whitgift School, he scored a double century against Yorkshire aged just 18 years and 21 days. In compiling a brilliant 242, he became the youngest double-centurion in the history of the County Championship, the second-youngest Englishman to score a first-class double hundred and the thirteenth youngest double-centurion of any nationality! After building his reputation at Surrey he moved to Warwickshire where he has excelled over the last couple of seasons. Patient, determined and technically tight, Sibley was the only man to score over a thousand Division One Championship runs in 2019, knocking an incredible 1,324, with five centuries, five half-centuries and an average of almost 70 – a particularly impressive record in a season when ball dominated bat.

Since making his England Test debut in late 2019 against New Zealand, Dom has cemented an opener spot after a fantastic start to his international career. His debut century in the Second Test against South Africa proved to be a match-winning one, a superbly crafted 133 not out providing the foundation for England’s first win at Newlands since 1957, and the first century by an England opener at the stadium since Jack Hobbs in 1910! Already averaging over 40, we are sure Dom will go on to have a long and hugely successful England career. We wish Dom the very best of luck for the future and very much look forward to working with him at future events.

We are delighted to introduce our new Gala Brand Ambassador and one of the country’s most promising young cricket talents! Dan has been regarded as one of the most promising young batsmen in the country since the day he became the third-youngest to make a Championship century, striking 161 for Essex against Surrey at The Oval in April 2015 at the age of just 17. The following season he was named as Young Cricketer of the Year by the Cricket Writers’ Club after his 761 runs at 44.76.He also made his England Lions debut and was selected for a Lions training camp in Australia.

His impressive form since led to his full Test debut in January 2021, going on to play in five Tests during the tour of the sub-continent, where he performed admirably in the notoriously tough conditions, scoring two fifties, including an excellent 73 in his debut innings against Sri Lanka! With an exciting summer of cricket for England to look forward to, leading up to the Ashes tour Down Under over the winter, we wish Dan every success in his burgeoning England career and look forward to working with him.

Up-and-coming all-rounder Mark Adair is now firmly established in the Ireland team in all formats. After making his international debut in the One Day International against England in May 2019, followed by his Test debut also against England in July 2019 (where he took 6 wickets at Lord’s), Mark was one of only 19 players awarded a central contract by Cricket Ireland. Since then he has played in 33 matches for his country in all formats, taking 49 wickets and scoring over 300 runs. In September 2019, he was named in Ireland’s squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates. He was the leading wicket-taker for Ireland in the tournament, with twelve dismissals in eight matches. Mark has also featured for Warwickshire in the County Championship and short form tournaments. We wish Mark all the very best as he continues his promising international career and we look forward to working with him at future events.
