Heart Beats Racing: HWCC Race Night

On Saturday 26th February, High Wycombe Cricket Club hosted their first event of the year.

It was a great success with over £1000 raised for the Colts Development Fund. With 33 attendees in total, 11 senior players were present in contributing towards the night. A few junior parents enjoyed their time helping to contribute to the next generation of young players.

Shaun Coker, Junior Coach said: "What a fantastic evening the race night was. Harry Lane you put a massive shift in and couldn’t have happened without you."

Organiser, Harry Lane commented: What a brilliant way to kick off the 2022 calendar, we had a great night supporting the club with a fun evening MC'd by Ken Coker, who kept the energy and entertainment high throughout the night, contributing towards a brilliant amount of money raised for the club.

I'd like to thank everyone who made the night as successful as it was with special thanks going to Shaun Coker, Dani Coker, Ken Coker, Jacqui Coker, Nicky Bibby and Gavin Elliot for their contributions.
