Ashes in Chesterfield
Queen’s Park plays host to a One Day International on Friday 14 August when England under-19s play their Australia counterparts.
The game is being staged by Chesterfield Cricket Club with the valued support of Chesterfield Borough Council and admission is free of charge although there is a £5 charge for the limited amount of car parking by the ground.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to see the crème de la crème of the two country’s young cricketers which may well include test players of the future,” said Mike Taylor, chairman of Chesterfield Cricket Club.
“It’s a considerable honour for Chesterfield that the ECB have selected the town for this international and we have taken the decision to make the game free of any entry fee to open up opportunity for everybody to enjoy the event.”
A tea bar alongside the pavilion will be selling tea, coffee and cakes throughout the day and snacks and soft drinks will be available from the pavilion bar. A barbecue will be running at various times and a range of drinks including Brampton Brewery’ award winning Golden Bud will be on sale.
The 50 over a side game starts at 10.30am. No tickets are needed but spectators are welcome to bring garden chairs to guarantee a seat for what promises to be a wonderful day of top class cricket at Chesterfield’s beautiful Queen’s Park ground.
