Cricket Match 🏏
Charity Cricket Match in aid of St Michael’s Hospice
The Annual Cricket Match between Icklesham X1 and a Rye X1 is scheduled for a
1 pm start on Saturday 12th of September on Icklesham Recreation Ground.
St Michael’s needs approximately £10 million per annum to give their excellent end of life care, the Government pledge a 1/3rd of this cost the rest is made up from fundraising. The hospice work closely with The Macmillan Nurses and The Sara Lee Trust.
We have been fortunate with the support we have gained over the years we have played this fixture. Last year was our best to date , which was over £2000.
As with other years we are hoping to get Match Sponsorship. This can be from a business or individuals donating which will be put together to make a Total Match Sponsorship.
Kevin Jury has kindly offered to sponsor the match ball.
Tea under the tree has proved popular with both players and supporters.
If anybody has any cricket memorabilia that they would like to donate to the after match auction, please get in touch with one of us.
To date we have a signed bat from Jamie Smith, England’s wicket - keeper.
Mini - Bats signed by Harry Brook ( England’s One Day & 20/20 captain) & Barbar Azam (Pakistan’s former Captain)
We have two umpires, and we do have a scorer.
We hope to run a raffle, if you have any beers or bottles that you would like to donate please get in touch.
Let’s hope the sun shines and we get plenty of support.
Please put a comment on this post if you would like to support, we will get back to you.@@
