Boost for Help for Heroes from club memorial day

By Guest 31st Aug 2021

BELHUS Cricket Club commemorated the life of the late Stewart Farr at North Stifford and helped raise funds for 'Help for Heroes' charity with a keenly fought Hundred ball cricket match between a Joe Joyce XI and a Liam Waters XI.

The highlight of the game was when Stewart's father bowled a five ball over and took a wicket.

Other fundraising activities on the day included a morning 10k walk around the boundary by the Belhus Belles led by Nikki Gladwin, Katie Davy and Nicola Hart, a giant club raffle, an auction of signed West Ham and Arsenal football memorabilia and a contest to guess how many sweets in the jar.

The number of sweets in a jar contest even had a 'bowl off' for third place between Lee Maynard and Jess Walker, Jess emerging victorious!

At the end of the festivities, Belhus CC groundsman, Pete, prepared a water slide for all ages to cool off after a hard day's fund raising for Help the Heros. Fun-loving Stewart would have been proud. Well done all.
