Brentwood Buccaneers vs Lashings All Stars - Raising funds for Georgia's Teenage Cancer Appeal
Posted by on 29 January 2014
We are proud to announce that we will be donating some of our proceeds from this years match vs Lashings All Stars to a local Brentwood charity called Georgia's Teenage Cancer Appeal ('GTCA').
We have offered to donate a portion of all corporate ticket sales directly to the charity. Please help us to raise as much money as possible by booking your table now and reserving your place.
More details on the fantastic work that the charity does is available at www.gtca.info
Friday 11th July is the date for what will be the 4th meeting between the two sides. Lashings claim that the score after 3 games (2011, 2012 & 2013) stands at 1-1, Lashings having won in 2012 by 3 runs and Brentwood securing a 5 wicket victory in 2013. Brentwood however also claimed a 1 run Duckworth Lewis victory in the inaugural fixture in 2011, a victory that Lashings still dispute!
Lashings have some exciting new signings this year, including recently retired England tweaker Graeme Swann, ex-England and Yorkshire fast bowler Matthew Hoggard MBE, current Essex batsman Owais Shah, Warwickshire all-rounder Darren Maddy and Aussie paceman Dirk Nannes. Add those names to the glittering list of legends that have played for Lashings at the OCG in previous years, the likes of Gordon Greenidge, Courtney Walsh, Inzaman Ul-Haq, Saqlain Mushtaq, Wasim Jaffer, Mark Ealham, Devon Malcolm, Phil DeFreitas, and it is certain to be a great day for all concerned. One thing is for sure, Lashings will be keen to avenge last years defeat and rumour has it they are trying to secure the services of none other than Shoaib Akhtar and even the great Sachin Tendulkar! The squad will be announced nearer the time but please book your table early as there are limited tables available. Who knows, other recently retired greats such as Jacques Kallis might also be persuaded to pull on the famous black and gold of the Lashings All Stars!
