Howzat? Fire v Police in crunch cricket match

Cricket fans may think that the crunch match this Friday (18 July) is the start of the second England v South Africa test match – but not in Warminster.

The town’s cricket club will be playing host to a charity challenge between Warminster Fire Station and Warminster Police.

The two sides will be raising funds for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance, while both hoping to win the day for their respective Services.

The game will start at 5.30pm, and everyone is welcome to go along and watch - refreshments will be available.

Pete Holcombe, Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service crew manager at Warminster Fire Station, said: “We want to raise a decent amount for the Air Ambulance, so we are particularly grateful to the cricket club for letting us their facilities for free. We haven’t had a match like this for many years, so it could be interesting!”
