Phenomenal amount of money raised!

From pink stumps, to pink caps, to a giant inflatable pink flamingo, Upton CC fully embraced the ‘Paint Cricket Pink’ weekend!

Not only was the club, its members and various aspects of the game decked in pink, there was a phenomenal amount of money raised for the Prevent Breast Cancer charity for the ‘Paint Cricket Pink’ weekend.

Through a combination of raffle ticket sales, cupcake sales, donations and of the course the ‘cap’ auction, we are delighted to announce a figure in excess of £1,100 was raised for charity.

The highlight of the weekend was the post-game auction of the limited-edition pink 1st XI caps as worn by the players during the game. A staggering £510 was raised during the auction, with one particular cap fetching a whopping £125!

Our thanks go out to all those who helped organise the weekend, those who donated prizes and a huge shout out to those who donated to the charity in whatever guise.
