boon to visit charity event Tim Boon, the former Leicestershire batsman and coach, will be going back to his roots on Sunday August 16 for a charity fund-raising cricket match. Boon, who is now a coach of the England Development Programme based at Loughborough, began his career at Warmsworth Cricket Club near Doncaster. He will be back at the South Yorkshire Senior League club’s King George Playing Fields ground this Sunday as one of the organisers of a T20 match between an Emerging Yorkshire side and a Local Legends XI.

The events starts at 12.30pm and will also include learning zone activities, mini football, Kwik cricket, karate, boxing training, face painting, street dancing, bouncy castles, music and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training for children and adults. There will also be a hog roast and barbecue from 1pm. Further details about the event on 01302 570 860. {{ak_sharing}}
