Cresselly's cricketers are taking on players from the Lords and Commons to raise money for charity.

Local MP Simon Hart has organised the fixture to be played at Cresselly Cricket Club this Sunday.

"I occasionally play for the Lords and Commons cricket team and thought it would be fun to arrange a match against my old club in south Pembrokeshire," explained Mr. Hart, who kept wicket for Cresselly for 10 years.

"So far I have managed to sign up five MPs for my team and we will be joined by family members and other friends from the area."

The event has been sponsored by Valero and the money raised will be going to the Tom Maynard Trust. Tom played for Glamorgan and Surrey before his accidental death on a railway line last year and the charity set up in his name supports aspiring disadvantaged cricketers and other sportspeople.

"I am very grateful to Valero for their support and to Cresselly Cricket Club for helping to arrange this special match," added Mr. Hart.
