The sixth annual cricket match between the People and Gardens group and the Eden Project will take place on Sunday, September 4 at St Austell Cricket Club.

The 20-over match will be the highlight of a summer of regular training for the People and Gardens team, who have a makeshift cricket pitch at the nursery near Pentewan where they work. The group are currently in the lead with 3-2 from the previous matches.

The event is a fundraiser for People and Gardens, a project which gives people with physical and emotional impairments the opportunity to learn all aspects of growing and selling vegetables, while developing their confidence levels too.

As well as cricket action, there will be plenty of other things to keep supporters entertained, including a barbecue, bar, stalls and games.

The gates open at 1pm and the first ball will be bowled at 2pm. Entry is free, but donations to People and Gardens will be gratefully received.
