The tournament will be held on the afternoon of Bank Holiday May 27th, subject to the weather, and at their Park Road ground in town and will include refreshments of beers, prosecco, soft drinks, tea and coffee, BBQ, cakes and a sweet stall.

Teams of 8 with at least 2 women in each side and a minimum age of 13 are required, with 8 x 6 ball overs per team using an Incrediball (not hard ball). The entrance fee of £80 per team will be divided between two charities, The Thomas Theyer Foundation and Adullam Homes.
