ON behalf of Radcliffe Cricket Club, I would like to thank all who were involved in our first Under 11s Junior Cricket Festival, sponsored by Radcliffe Building Supplies.

Thanks for the help and support provided by 888, and the numerous other Radcliffe businesses who advertised in our programme.

Thanks also to all those who donated so generously towards our raffle and tombola.

We would like to thank all the people who gave up their time to run the festival last Saturday.

It showed around 80 children what it is like to play competitive cricket and to win the coveted trophy, the Wolstenholme Cup.

Our extended thanks also to the Radcliffe Times for their media coverage in the run up to the event, and the public who attended, making it a big success.

We are going to make it an annual event and heres hoping that 2006 will be bigger and better.
