The Village
Greenies is one of the oldest Cricket Clubs in the Cayman Islands and Perry has
a long standing relationship with the club we can only describe as ‘full of
life’. The Greenies Blazer matches their colour scheme which is derived from
the Heineken beer bottle. The Club was founded in 1974 and the name is based on
the famous green bottle, known in Cayman as a ‘Greenie’. Heineken is now the
official beer of the Village Greenies Cricket Club and often drunk before,
during and after the match.
Mainly
an expatriate’s side The Greenies are determined to enjoy their weekend games
in the heat of the tropics and replace some of the liquid expended during the
match by the consumption of beer.
‘While the
Greenies always give their best, we are big believers in playing by the spirit
of the game before worrying about winning. Old and new members alike, we always
look forward with great enthusiasm to our games whether at home or on tour, and
getting stuck into a few greenies or pints of bitter with the lads after the
games is more than any Greenie can ask for.’
