Kingfisher ambassador Graeme Swann will 'host' the interactive quizzes

Kingfisher Beer, India’s No. 1,  are set  to roll out their ‘Kingfisher Quiz & Curry Night’ in early March;  a new fund raising initiative for club cricket in association with the Professional Cricketers Association (PCA).

Kingfisher recently signed a 3 year partnership with the England and Wales Cricket Board to sponsor the National Championship, re-named the Kingfisher Beer Cup.

Last year’s Champions Shrewsbury, along with 255 other clubs in England and Wales will compete this year to win the £5,000 winner’s cheque.

The Kingfisher Quiz & Curry Night initiative will launch on March 5th, inviting predominantly amateur cricket clubs to host their own interactive quiz nights and drive important investment into the recreational game.

Quiz packs will be available to download from the Kingfisher website and consist of 2 great, interactive sports quiz videos hosted by Graeme Swann as well as a host of PCA Ambassadors; Darren Gough, Phil Tufnell and Alec Stewart. The quiz packs also include all the essentials required to run a successful Quiz and Curry Night, including handy tips, advertising posters, ticket templates and answer sheets.

Graeme Swann, England’s leading spin bowler, fresh from England T20 series victory in Abu Dhabi said:

“I think the Kingfisher Quiz and Curry Night is a great idea. For 1, it gets me beamed around cricket clubs across the country which has to be a good thing, and it’s a great way to raise money for clubs, as clubs rely on activity like this and it’s a fun way of doing it!”

Manningham Mills are the new leaders of the JCT 600 Bradford League First Division after gaining maximum points as they beat Baildon by 88 runs at Scotchman Road. Opener Adal Islam was top scorer against his old club with 80 not out in Mills' formidable total of 264-5.
Jonny Moxon, son of Yorkshire's Director of Cricket, Martyn Moxon, played a key role with his pace bowling in York’s seven home win against Doncaster Town. Opener Simon Widdup and James Stuart put together a third wicket stand of 147 as Doncaster totalled 221-8 with Widdup hitting 11 fours and two sixes in his 101 while Stuart struck seven fours and two sixes in his innings of 71, Moxon taking 4-34.
In scenes reminiscent of 2012, the entire programme in the North Lancashire and Cumbria Premier and First Divisions was washed out this weekend. The lack of action means that Haverigg (61), Furness (54) and Cleator (50) lead the way at the top of the Premier Division while in the First Division, Egremont are on top with 63 points, Cletaor II are six points behind and Cockermouth II have 54 points in third place.
There were no positive results in the opening weekend of the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League but Totteridge Milhillians sit on top of the table with 17 points. Old Finchleians come next with 16 and St Albans are third with 11.
Teddington and Finchley top the early 2013 Middlesex ECB Premier League after winning their opening matches against Richmond and Eastcote. Eastcote were subsequently docked 10 points for fielding an understrength team, which nevertheless only went down by one wicket.
Thames Ditton Cricket Club will be taking on a blind and partially sighted team from Cricket for Change in a T20 Blind Cricket match to take place at 13.00 on Thames Ditton Green on Sunday 12th May 2013. Phil Tufnell's Cricket for Change team have challenged the local side, Thames Ditton CC to a game with a difference: they will all be blind-folded.
