Your chance to take on Tigers

Figure image
Have you ever fancied lining up against your heroes, the players you watch week in week out at Welford Road? If so, then July 1 is the perfect chance for you to do just that.

Thanks to the Matt Hampson Trust, you have the opportunity to pit your wits against some of the stars of this season's Double-winning side, and all in aid of a great cause. The new season may not yet be upon us, but that hasn't stopped the Tigers squad from getting their sporting fix as they've agreed to take part in a charity cricket match against a Sporting All Stars XI at Rothley Park next month.

Andy Goode will captain the Tigers side, with Leicestershire and England fast bowler Stuart Broad booked to make a guest appearance and the All Stars set to include the likes of Paul Nixon, Muzzy Izzet and Darren Maddy. 

Here's where you come in... the Matt Hampson Trust is currently running an auction allowing you to bid for a place on the All Stars team, meaning you could be getting rid of Goode's off stump or hitting Broad for six, with Matt the ultimate beneficiary. For details of the auction click here

As well as the 20:20 match, there will be entertainment from well-known local Ska-Reggae band Ska-Amanga and plenty of fun for all the family courtesy of BBQ's, bars and a bouncy castle for the kids.

The match starts at 2pm, with admission just £3 for adults and £1 for children. Free parking is also available.
