🎟 Tickets available for Somerset showpiece game
Tickets are now on sale for Cornwall’s eagerly-anticipated showcase match against first-class county Somerset on Tuesday, August 1.
The showcase game is an opportunity for National Counties to test themselves against the best players in the country as county teams take on a first class team.
Cornwall will take on County Championship Division One side Somerset for their showcase, with the game starting at 11am.
Last year’s game saw Cornwall lose to Somerset by seven wickets. Chris Gibson plundered 105 as Cornwall posted 255-8, with Joseph Phillips (23) and Tom Dinnis (21*) providing useful support, but Somerset had Steve Davies (79) and Josh Thomas (69) to thank as their stand of 149 for the second wicket contributed greatly to their victory, which was sealed in the 33rd over of their reply.
Tickets for the match are on sale at £15 per adult and £5 for under-16s. Car Parking will be charged at £5 per car to be paid on the day. Tickets can be purchased by visiting https://booking.ecb.co.uk/d/m0q4nx
Joe Skinner, managing director of Cornwall Cricket Board, said: “This has always been a great occasion with first class cricket players playing cricket in Cornwall and we are grateful to Somerset County Cricket Club for coming into the county. It is an opportunity for people to see players play who are at the top of their game and compete with Cornwall’s top players.
“There will be opportunities for our cricket communities to develop also, such as our Disability cricket group, who aim to develop life and employability skills, as well as watch a great game of cricket.”
