The game, which will be the 24th meeting between the two sides, will once again be played in aid of the Essex Cricket Foundation and will begin at 2.45pm.

Before that match, which will be a T20 affair, there will be several other events taking place on the ground, including the final of the Windmill Women’s Edition, an U11 representative game, training sessions for our youngest junior players and competitions and net sessions for our older colts. Further details and timings for these events will be confirmed in the coming weeks, as will information around catering and refreshments.

Programmes for the day will be on sale shortly and will be required for entry to the event on the day.

We would like to thank Dan Feist, Arfan Akram and Nick Browne of Essex Cricket for their help in arranging this event and we can’t wait to see everyone on the 15th September!!
