La Manga ClubCricket teams looking to keep their competitive edge during the winter months can do so under the watchful eye of some the game’s legends with the La Manga Club Charity Cricket Tournament.

The popular competition is returning to the luxurious Spanish resort for its third outing from November 5-7 and former England captains Mike Gatting and Rachael Heyhoe-Flint will be among those taking advantage of the superb year-round climate.

Teams from across Europe will be heading to the continent’s premier sports resort for the three-day tournament which will raise funds for the Lord’s and Lady Taverners charity.

Packages for players cost just €296 per person for three nights’ half-board accommodation – based on six people sharing a three-bedroom apartment in the fully-serviced Las Lomas Village.

The price also includes entry to the tournament, a prizegiving event, use of Spa La Manga Club’s fitness centre, pool, steam rooms and sauna, transportation within the resort and a contribution to the Lord’s and Lady Taverners charity.

Alternative accommodation options are available including full board, smaller apartments and deluxe guest rooms.
