3/1 To Win
A group of former Derby County players took part in a charity cricket match at Spondon Cricket Club last weekend - in memory of former BBC Radio Derby presenter Colin Bloomfield.
The game saw the likes of Roger Davies, Roy McFarland, Martin Taylor, Michael Johnson, Phil Gee, Marc Edworthy and Craig Ramage take to the field against Spondon Cricket Club to raise funds for the Derby County Community Trust’s Disability programme.
The annual fundraiser, organised by Neil Bennett from Spondon, was again a huge success with over 800 people attending.
As well as the cricket, Derby’s club mascots Rammie and Ewie were both in attendance to entertain the young children at the event, along with stalls around the ground and a raffle including prizes such as signed Derby County merchandise, a TV, Bananarama tickets, a luxury meat hamper and many more!
This was the third time the teams had faced each other for the Colin Bloomfield Charity Cricket Cup, which after a tight start saw the Rams All Stars claim the victory to retain the trophy.
The event was a huge success with over £3,500 raised already and more still to be donated.
Head of Derby County Community Trust, Simon Carnall, said: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank Spondon Cricket Club for hosting and participating in the game, all of the businesses who contributed to the raffle and in particular to Neil Bennett who organised the whole event and continues to be a huge supporter of the Community Trust.
“It’s a fantastic event and all of the help and support received is very much appreciated.”
