Niall Stringer Foundation - South Weald Cricket Club Charity Game raises over £500
Posted on: 15th August 2023
The South Weald Sunday side took on a slightly different opposition today. A combined XI made up of some former (and first time) cricketers captained by Roo all in aid of the Niall Stringer Foundation.
The game was played in great spirit, with South Weald eventual winners by 10 runs, although today was not about the result and all about the Niall Stringer Foundation for which over £500 was raised.
