Heyside Cricket Club secretary Paul Matthews has identified junior players as the club’s future and hopes to attract more to the game at their ECB Open Day.

Appleton Cricket Club chairman Antony Hurst insists their ECB Club Open Day events are the perfect chance to engage with the local community – something he believes is essential to the team’s future.

Matthew Hoggard, Simon Jones and Mark Ramprakash will grace Timperley Cricket Club for a spectacular Twenty20 contest to cap their ECB Club Open Day, with treasurer Dave Howarth hoping the event can inspire a new generation of stars.
