As part of our Ashes celebrations this summer we've challenged the Fanatics (the Australian Supporters group) to a series of Twenty20 matches the day before each of the 5 tests, at a venue local to the test ground the following day.
The action kicks of St Fagans CC, Cardiff Sponsors of the series npower will be providing 2 'celeb' players for each side to help the series start with bang.

The action starts at 12.30PM, and gates will be open from NOON.
The Barmy Army Social Side will also be playing against Wattlesprigs CC touring side, and the Barmy Army Colts will face their St.Fagans counterparts. So plenty of cricket going on....
