Kettering Town Cricket Club fundraiser (200w)
Kettering Town Cricket Club raised £200 during a recent fundraising
event at their local ground on Northampton Road.
The day involved a double wicket competition where players paired up and
battled it out to win a £50 prize.
Organiser and club stalwart Dale Munn, 50, from Kettering said: ‘It was
a well attended event by people of all ages. The idea behind it was to build
social links within the club and to raise money for equipment for the junior
teams.’
The overall winners of the competition were players Richard Atherstone,
20, from South Africa and Mark Ainge, 42, from Kettering. They took part in
five games against other pairs and went on to win the prize money.
Spectator Steven Wilson, 30, a fitness and lifestyle coach from
Kettering said: ‘It was a fantastic and enjoyable day. All the different age
groups had lots of fun getting involved.’
The event lasted until 7pm when a BBQ took place for the cricket fans to
enjoy.
Members of the club are continuously aiming to improve facilities at the
ground for future players. They are currently looking for sponsorship for the
2013 season.
