On Thursday 2nd June 2022, the first day of the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend, we’re excited to announce that we’re hosting Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff and friends and St Annes CC past and present players, who’ll take part in a cricket fundraiser, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society – a care and research charity for people with dementia and their carers.

Why We’re Fundraising For The Alzheimer’s Society
The Alzheimer’s Society is a charity very close to our hearts. One of our former Club Presidents, Brian Standing, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in recent years.
Brian and Andrew’s Grandad Harry Hargreaves – 2 finer gentlemen you could not wish to meet – supported our senior and junior teams for many years while sitting on a bench on the boundary, merrily chatting away (pictured below).
Andrew has chosen to host this cricket fundraiser match at St Annes CC in memory of his beloved Grandad Harry and Brian, and to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society charity.

100% of every donation received will go towards the Alzheimer’s Society – thank you for supporting this very worthy cause
