Charity Cricket Match - 26th August!
A Blues Foundation XI will play a Mintridge Foundation XI in a charity cricket match on Friday 26th August at Sharnbrook & Bromham Cricket Club, Lodge Road, Sharnbrook (start time 5:15pm).
The ideal way to begin the Bank Holiday weekend, the two teams, including star studded line-ups (such as Paralympic Champion, Laura Sugar MBE, plus former rugby and cricket players), will battle it out in a T20 fixture aimed at raising vital funds for both charities.
Families are encouraged to attend and take part in the day’s activities, which will include fun, games, activities and entertainment suitable for all ages. Food, drink and ice cream will be available, alongside a fully licensed bar.
To take part in the evening’s action, spaces on either side are available for £100 and will include a team shirt to be worn on the day, along with playing with cricketing or rugby legends on either side.
