Swardeston is delighted to announce that we will be hosting our second game with the MCC.
Taking place on Wednesday 3 August with an 11.30am start, the MCC team will be captained by Swardeston 1st XI captain and MCC member Mark Thomas.
Thomas said: “We enjoyed the first game in 2014 and are very much looking forward to this second fixture.
“The team I will select for the MCC will contain a number of very good cricketers from outside the county. I think it will be a great opportunity for us to once again show off the club.
Swardeston chairman Mark Taylor said: “The 2014 fixture was a very enjoyable day and we hope the weather will be kind to us again this year. Spectators will be very welcome to come along and join us.”
