From transport to sport, “Matchpoint Melbourne” takes the city’s reputation for major sporting events and applies it to more grassroots activities and less grandiose locations. Thinking lawn bowls for St Kilda hipsters? A little too sedate. Matchpoint takes to the streets, colonising public space and regearing popular activities: laneway cricket, underpass go-kart racing and bicycle polo are the new urban gaming. The organisers believe a celebration of the small can only reinforce tourism, while simultaneously engaging more people.
