Thornbury CC's kit heads to both India and Greenfield.
When Thornbury Cricket Club's David Wilson donated some cricket equipment for the charity Project Front Foot, for less fortunate cricket fanatics in India, he didn't expect some of it would be used for one of our local clubs in the Bradford Area!
At a seemingly innocuous meeting to sign off Greenfield 2nd team captain Yusir Gill's DBS, Yusir mentioned to Shiv Krishan that he was on the look out for some equipment, as many of his new team were first time cricketers or hadn't played since school.
Shiv, always happy to help clubs from the B.M.E community, asked David whether some of the equipment could be donated to Greenfield and, without hesitation, David said it would be a pleasure and had soon dropped the equipment off at Park Avenue to collect!
"I have known David for many years, boy and man", said Shiv, "In all this time he has always been happy to help in any way to promote the game of cricket he loves and donating this kit is another way of putting something back into the community".
David supplied so much equipment that there will still be lots to send over to Project Front Foot in India, including tracksuits with the Thornbury logo on!
Well Done to David and Thornbury Cricket Club for there generous donation, helping both locally and abroad!
Project Front Foot are still on the look out for any spare kit to go to help disadvantaged cricketers! If you have something to donate, please get in touch with Steve Archer at s.archer@yorkshirecb.com.
