Sponsor a player and help us celebrate 250 years of First Class Cricket

We are recruiting and selecting a Men’s and Women’s team to take on Hampshire All Star teams to replicate the glory days of the first First Class game of cricket played 250 years ago.

Broadhalfpenny Down, a jewel in the crown of the game of cricket offers the opportunity to celebrate cricket for all and the history of the game. We are recruiting a team from across all of England to do battle taken on the Hampshire All Stars in a celebration match on Broadhalfpenny Down on Friday 24 June (men) or Saturday 25 June 2022 (women).

We are recruiting the most worthy players from across the country to take part in two of our celebration matches in a season of commemoration and need your help.

We are keen to make this a fantastic event for all. The £250 package to sponsor an All England player includes providing playing kit to the player, two tickets to the VIP marquee for the day, lunch and tea with your player and the teams, two tickets to the end of season cocktail party on 1 Sep, your company logo in the celebration weekend programme and on the Broadhalfpenny Down website. ​

If you are interested in sponsoring a player or would like to discuss any aspect of the 250th celebration weekend please email Michael Beardall on 250thfirstfirst@gmail.com
