CLYNFYW Care Farm in Abercych is organising a charity cricket tournament on Friday, August 8.
It will take place at Llechryd Cricket Club in aid of the East African Cricket Foundation, running from 11am to 2.30pm.
“We are really excited about our Kwick Cricket Tournament,” said Alex Martin of Clynfyw Care Farm.
“We’ve been holding coffee mornings once a month for different charities all year, and we thought it would be fun to run a cricket tournament in aid of a cricket related charity.”
The East Africa Cricket Foundation encourages young boys and girls in East Africa, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to become engaged in cricket.
Through the sport it is hoped they will develop important personal qualities including self-esteem and confidence along with specific character traits such as enthusiasm, perseverance, self-control, optimism, gratitude and social intelligence.
Angela Miles, Pembrokeshire County Council Disability Sports Officer said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Clynfyw on this project.
“We hope this will lead to more disabled people taking part in a whole range of sports throughout the county.”
There is no cost to come and watch the tournament, though there will be a raffle and refreshments throughout the day raising funds for the cause.
There is still time to enter a team. If you are interested and would like more information, please phone 01239 841236.
If it rains, the event will adjourn to a local village hall for a game of short mat bowls.
