Durham Cricket will host a special evening of Vitality Blast cricket on Tuesday, 9 June, as two exciting fixtures take place at Banks Homes Riverside in support of the Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust.
The evening brings together top-level cricket and an important community cause, with Durham Women facing Yorkshire Women in their first derby clash before Durham Men take on Lancashire later in the night.
A first derby for Durham Women
The action begins with a landmark fixture as Durham Women meet Yorkshire Women in what will be the first T20 derby between the two sides. Local pride will be on the line as the teams go head-to-head in what promises to be a competitive and passionate encounter.
Derby matches always bring a special atmosphere, and supporters will have the opportunity to back Durham Women as they face their northern rivals in front of a home crowd.
Durham Men face Lancashire
Later in the evening, Durham Men return to the field to face Lancashire in another important Vitality Blast fixture. With the fast-paced nature of T20 cricket, the match promises plenty of excitement as Durham look to secure another result on home soil.
The double header offers supporters the chance to enjoy two high-quality matches in one evening, with both Durham teams taking on major rivals from across the north.
Supporting the Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust
The evening will also shine a light on the work of the Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust, a charity that supports young people in following their sporting dreams.
By dedicating the matchday to the Trust, Durham Cricket hopes to help raise awareness of the charity’s work while bringing the community together around the positive power of sport.
A night of cricket and community
With the first women’s derby, a high-profile men’s clash and an important cause at its heart, the evening promises to be one of the most meaningful and memorable fixtures of the summer.
Supporters are encouraged to come along, show their support for both Durham teams and help highlight the work of the Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust.
Tickets for the double header are available here.
