Danubian Kangaroos is a Hungarian cricket club founded in 2007. Which has set itself the task of taking care of domestic talents. In addition, our goal is to show Hungary how fun the second most popular sport in the world, the cricket. Sport was completely unknown in our country until the 1989. The first cricket activity was experienced in Hungary in 1996 when Sri Lankan consul Dr. Padma Gannoruwa launched a cricket initiative in Budapest. A cricket team consisting of Hungarians and foreigners was formed, which played many matches with teams from Germany and Austria, and even with a touring British club. In the warm months, cricket training sessions were held on a weekly basis at the Budapest University Sports Field, and in winter, indoor cricket training camps were held at the Budapest Sports Stadium. All of this ended when Dr. Gannoruwa left Hungary. In the early 2000s, Genpact, a company with a few Indian employees, played one or two matches a year against various teams, including the British Embassy. In 2003, the British-Hungarian Club in Miskolc was established and a British man introduced him to cricket, and they continued playing for two years. In Székesfehérvár in 2006, English teacher Andy Grieve introduced cricket at the Comenius School summer camp. The game proved popular, and soon training sessions were held three times a week. It was thanks to the enthusiasm of the Comenius cricketers and the support of the school management that Andy Grieve decided in October 2006 to set up the  former Association's website to find opponents for his team. As a result, the first Hungarian championship began in 2007 with the formation of a few more teams. The Kangaroos, led by our captain Gábor Török, who lived in Australia many years and later became the president of the association, joined the league a year later in the 2008 season, which was held that year at the football field in Dunabogdány. The primary objective of Dunamentiek was to be able to compete with Hungarian players during the season. Thus, in the first two years of the team, there were only Hungarian players who showed interest in sports, some players with cricket and baseball experience formed the backbone of the team. The other few teams were made up of foreigners living in Hungary (India, Pakistan, England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Netherlands, Afghanistan). Thanks to the recruitment at colleges and universities, in 2009, the Danubian Kangaroos formed their second team of only Hungarian players called Tasmán Ördögök, which existed for one year and played in the second division. From 2009 to 2014, our team was also helped by one of the commercial  TV channels whose broadcast the T20 World Championship live with Hungarian commentary, and the commentary included several Kangaroos. As a result, several Hungarian athletes showed interest in cricket and joined our team. After 2010, one or two expat cricketers joined to the team per season. Since then, the Hungarian championship has been organized every year, later due to the increase in the number of teams, this was confirmed with a second or third division where the Kangaroos mostly took part in the seocond division. In the championships, the game formats were variable (20, 25, 30, 40 overs). The Hungarian Cup was held every year from 2010-2018, where the Kenguruk's' best result was a silver medal.  Initially the matches were held on the unofficial cricket ground in the XVI. district RAFC pitch and in the XIX. district pitch, in Gödöllő, in Dunabogdány until the GB Oval was established in 2011. Since then, the only cricket field in Hungary is the GB oval in Sződliget. In 2020 the Kangaroos got stronger with young people from the Bat and Ball academy led by Duncan Shoebridge, who started to represent more and more serious quality with the team. As a result, the Kangaroos won the third division championship in 2022 and achieved surprising results in the second division in 2023 and 2024. As a result of the successes, more and more Kangaroos received invitations for the national team. In 2024, for the first time in the history of the Kangaroos, they participated as the only second-class team in the European Cricket Series 2024 Hungary two-week T10 tournament at the GB Oval, organized by ECN, which was broadcast worldwide on the internet., and we finished in excellent 7th place among much stronger and more experienced teams. Our team considers the victory over Budapest Zalmi and Royal Eagles in the ECS tournament as one of the biggest victories in the club's history. Also from 2024, the Hungarian Cricket Association will allow dual playing licenses for native Hungarian players in the interest of their development, therefore some Kangaroos players also play in first-class teams, so they can play in parallel in a given season in the first division as well as the second division, where the cooperation is most evident with the United Család Budapest team. In the 2025 academic year, cricket was introduced as an eligible subject at the Hungarian University of Sports Science, where several Kangaroos players were present as instructors. Also in 2025, the association launched the first Hungarian women's cricket championship in the history of Hungarian cricket, which featured several female kangaroo players. The end of August 2025, an extremely important event occurred in the history of our association and Hungarian native cricket, as with seven native Dannubian Kangaroos players under the leadership of Gábor Török, Hungary won the Eastern European T20I Cup 2025 tournament, which was held at the Sződligeti GB Oval. Never before had so many Kangaroos players represented the Hungarian national team in a given tournament. Considering that the Danubian Kangaroos is a Hungarian-Australian cricket club, it has continuously provided opportunities for Australians living in Hungary temporarily or permanently who want to play cricket and who want to try out their cricket skills in the Hungarian championship. The team is defined by its love of sport, as well as its cultural diversity. The speciality of our association is that we have many players with dual identities, e.g. Hungarian-English, Hungarian-Australian, etc., where one parent is Hungarian and the other is a foreigner living in Hungary. Many of our players speak Hungarian and English at a native level, switching between the two several times, even within the team. Since most Hungarian cricket teams communicate in English on the field, using the Hungarian language can provide a huge advantage in the field of tactics, etc. Due to the diversity of the team, the Dunamenti Kangaroos closely cooperate with the Hungarian Australian football community, including the Budapest Bats - Aussie Rules team. Since the Dunamenti Kangaroos are a Hungarian-Australian cricket club, this means that nearly half of the players on the team play both sports at the same time, and several of the Kangaroos are Australian football fans. Due to the mutual cooperation, we can practically say that the Budapest Bats embodies the Australian football "department" of the Danubian Kangaroos. Basically, we can mention the two clubs as one because they have a common goal: to bring the medium, worship, and environment of cricket and Australian football to as many people as possible. To introduce what it is like to be part of a smaller, friendly group. As well as our further goal, to build the Hungarian-Australian community and relationship in Hungary through these developing sports. Currently, the Danubian Kangaroos is the only cricket team among the 13 clubs in Hungary where mostly native Hungarian players or people of Hungarian origin play with a few foreigners, the other teams are made up of foreign players living here. In this way, the Kangaroos represent the future of Hungarian cricket in our country, where our development is unstoppable, our team unity is unbreakable, and our motivation is boundless.
