Palmcricket News

February 2005 - Hilton College leads the way.

Tim Mills, cricket administrator at Hilton College, the prestigious private school north of Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, was the first to embrace Palmcricket in a big way. In fact Multi-Media Publication's first direct sale of a Palm Zire unit was to Hilton College, in March 2004.

Since that first exploratory purchase of a Palm Zire, Hilton College now uses 9 Palm Zire units at the latest count, making it Multi-Media Publications's single largest Palmcricket client.

Hilton College and Tim believe strongly in the development of less priveleged schools in the surrounding KZN area. Towards this aim, Hilton College conducts science and sports seminars for educators at a peer-to-peer level on a regular basis. Tim has also been promoting Palmcricket as an ideal solution for overworked school coaches. By rolling out Palmcricket on a large scale, far more accurate match and player statistics can be collected on a provincial wide basis. This will allow for greater talent recognition and development. The creation of a comprehensive player database will have direct long-term benefits on the sustainability of quality cricket at school, provincial and national levels.

The word is spreading rapidly in that corner of the country. Multi-Media is proud to be associated with such stirling endeavours. Keep up the good work, Hilton College and Tim!
