Cricket Leinster is hugely appreciative of Ed Joyce’s recent decision to establish and run a key Fundraising Event which is primarily for the benefit of Cricket Leinster and its clubs.
The event – a Summer Bash Gala Dinner – is being held on Thursday 28th June 2018 in the Guinness Storehouse and will include drinks, dinner with Q&A from a panel of International Cricket stars – this event is on the evening between the two T20 Internationals with India.
Details of this event are on the attached flier – please contact Philip Quinlan if you would be interested in lending your support or if you would like to take a table – his contact details are phillyquinlan100@gmail.com.
Ed spoke of his delight in deciding to organise this event and its intended benefit to the cricket community across Leinster - ‘I think the future of Irish cricket is bright. And that’s not just because of Test cricket or our full membership of the ICC. It’s also because of what’s happening in every club across Ireland - the next generation of Irish cricketing talent is playing at an unprecedented level. Supporting this is something that I want to be part of; with our established national teams but also through our club network, and particularly in clubs that are newly established. The heart and soul of Irish cricket is the club game, and supporting that is what the Summer Bash is all about.
The
Ed Joyce Scholarship will sponsor developing cricketers to take part in an intensive winter training programme abroad, where they will receive expert coaching and game time in overseas conditions.
The
Cricket Leinster Development Fund will support the development of Men’s and Women's cricket in newly established and emerging cricket clubs and communities throughout Leinster. In that context, I would appreciate any possible support to make this event a great success.’
We have every expectation that this event will be a sell-out - if you have any queries on this, please feel free to contact Philip Smith (Cricket Leinster General Manager) at philip.smith@cricketleinster.ie.
