LEIGH’S Beech Walk Ground will host the inaugural finals day of the Wigan Cricket Development Group (WCDG) 20/20 Cup competition on Sunday.

Ten top teams from around the area have been competing over 20 days to be district champions and the organisers are hoping for a finals day to remember.

Tim McKiernan from WCDG said: “I’m delighted that this has been such a popular showcase for cricketing talent in the area.

“Sunday will be a great day for all involved and I’m sure it will be exciting for spectators too. I would urge anyone interested in cricket to come to Leigh on Sunday and see the district’s best cricketers in action. We’re hoping there will be a real carnival atmosphere.”

The hugely popular short form of the game is sure to prove a spectacle of big hitting and exciting cricket.

There will be fun for all the family with fairground rides, music, a hog roast, barbecue and full bar all day. Admission is free.

The day will consist of three games, two semi finals from 10:30am and the day’s showpiece grand final starting at 5pm.

Prior to that, on Friday from 6pm, hosts Leigh will entertain local rivals Golborne at Beech Walk in a bid to reach the finals day.
