Cricket Week at Upchurch Cricket Club

Upchurch Cricket Club would like to invite you to their annual Cricket Week starting on Monday 27th July, running through until Friday 31st, in memory of Don Macaulay and in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

As well as cricket fixtures to enjoy the BBQ will be running non stop all week and there's a well stocked bar with plenty of food available.

Upchurch's Don Macaulay sadly passed away to cancer in 2000 at the age of just 37 and the club have hosted Cricket Week every July since as a good way to remember him.

It is Dons parents wish that the money raised be donated to Macmillan Nurses. Last year Cricket Week raised over £3000 which was fantastic!

The highlight of the week will be Wednesday when the 1st team Captain Kevin Masters who is himself an ex professional cricketer is bringing a star studded team of ex and current pro cricketers including Amjad Khan who is currently playing for Sussex to play against our 1st XI, which will include 2 overseas players from the Nepal squad who are playing club cricket with us until the end of season.

This should be a good game and there is even a bowling master class being held in the morning by Chris Dale who is an ex Kent player and currently coaches Kent so any budding young or old cricketers who would like to take part in that, please feel free to get in touch.

Cricket Week finishes with a live band again, hog roast, raffle and an auction for our guests and members. This event is sold out, but we would just like to apologies in advance for any noise that may be heard. The evening is a one off and rest assured will not go on any later than 11:00pm. It's all for a fantastic charity so it's hoped residents will understand that the money raised helps make a great difference to a fantastic charity and ultimately peoples lives.

The Cricket Fixtures are as follows:

Monday 27th - Upchurch XI v Chatham Nomads XI - 2:00pm start.

Tuesday 28th - Upchurch XI v TKW Electrical XI 2:00pm start.

Wednesday 29th - Upchurch XI v KDM Masters XI 2:00pm start.

Thursday 30th - Upchurch u15/17 Colts v Lordswood u15/17 2:00pm start.

Friday 31st Upchurch CC XI v Upchurch FC XI 20/20 4:00pm start.

The Kent Trade Frames Pavilion and Upchurch Cricket Ground are set in one of nicest locations around and don't worry if you haven't been to the Cricket Club before, the club welcomes new faces and appreciates your support for this great cause.

If anyone would like more information or would like to make a donation, please feel free to get in touch with either Lee Stepney or David Lloyd. Email: lee106stepney@hotmail.com or david.lloyd@dgltesting.co.uk
