Several members of the cricket teams have lost loved ones this way over the past 18 months and wanted to do something to remember them by.

The day included a bouncy castle, a cake sale and a hog roast supplied by the main sponsor of the event EV Slacks (a butcher in Wadworth).

There was a refreshment stall and a tombola raffle plus a visit from an ice cream van.

All profits were donated to the cause.
