Mace Group, the global consultancy and construction firm is hosting its Celebrity Cricket Challenge, in aid of WaterAid at the BritOval this Friday, 24 July. The event will see the UK water industry take on the infamous Bunburys – the world’s number one celebrity cricket team. The Bunburys, founded by David English MBE, includes famous cricketers and sporting / non- sporting celebrities. Players confirmed include Mark Ramprakash, England cricketer and winner of Strictly Come Dancing, Paul Davis (ex-Arsenal footballer), Paul Pritchard (Essex CCC), Jonathan Batty (Surrey CCC), Alex Tudor (England cricketer), Darren Cousins (Essex CCC), Andy Clarke (Essex CCC), Kenny Sansom (Ex-Arsenal and England footballer), Perry Groves (Ex- Arsenal footballer), Lou Vincent (New Zealand Cricketer) and Phil de Freitas (ex-England).
Representatives from the UK water industry include Scottish Water, Thames Water, Veolia, Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions, Holleran and Enterprise.
This is an open event and members of the public are invited to watch the action for donation of £5, which will go straight into the fundraising pot for WaterAid. Just £15 can provide a person with a lasting supply of water and sanitation. Monies raised from the event will support the work that WaterAid carries out in the developing world to enable some of the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.
The event has already picked up interest from the media, with national sports radio channel TalkSport publicising the event this week and New Civil Engineer (NCE) secured as media partner.
