Army vs Navy Veterans 20/20 Cricket Match

Join us for a fantastic afternoon of cricket, camaraderie, and community spirit as the Army and Navy Veterans go head-to-head in a special Twenty20 charity cricket match on Sunday, 5th July, starting at 2:00pm.

The match will take place at the beautiful Ash Recreation Ground, Queens Road, Ash, Kent, CT3 3BG, and promises to be a memorable occasion for players, supporters, and families alike.

This year’s event is proudly raising vital funds for Military vs Cancer, a remarkable charity dedicated to supporting members of the Armed Forces community affected by cancer. Every pound raised will help provide essential assistance, care, and support to veterans, serving personnel, and their families during incredibly challenging times.

The day will also hold special significance as it will be played in memory of ex HMs/m Sceptre, Dave Bisset. Dave was a respected friend, colleague, and veteran whose memory continues to inspire all who knew him. This memorial fixture will serve as a fitting tribute to his life, service, and lasting legacy.

Spectators of all ages are warmly invited to come along and enjoy what promises to be an entertaining contest between two proud military services. Whether you’re a cricket enthusiast, a supporter of our Armed Forces, or simply looking for a great day out, this event offers something for everyone.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day, making it the perfect opportunity to relax, socialise, and support a truly worthwhile cause. Bring your family, invite your friends, and help us create an unforgettable atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ash Recreation Ground for an afternoon of competitive cricket, remembrance, and fundraising. Together, we can honour Dave’s memory while making a real difference for Military vs Cancer.
