3/1 To Win
After a three-year hiatus, the Derby County All-Stars will return to defend their crown at Spondon Cricket Club this Sunday 17th July 2022 as the Colin Bloomfield Charity Cricket Cup match takes place.

The day is designed for all the family, with gates opening at 12pm before the match officially started by Derby North MP Amanda Solloway, gets underway at 2pm,
There will be the opportunity to take part in raffles and games, visit the Rams Heritage Trust Stand, listen to music by local recording artist Tom Walsh and hear the iconic We Are Derby poem performed by Jamie Thrasivoulou.
