Top professional services firms return to the crease and go into
bat for good causes again this summer, when they compete for the
third year of the RBS Leicestershire Corporate Cricket League.
Teams are being fielded by RBS Business & Commercial
Banking, Harvey Ingram, Howes Percival, Tenon and a joint team from
Robert Whowell & Partners and HBJ Gateley Wareing. They
will all compete in a round-robin tournament throughout the summer
months, before the competition is completed with a finals day at
Kibworth Cricket Club on September 8th, to decide the winner.
Organisers are also set to raise more than £1,600 for
charities Loros and Menphys, from this summer's matches.
League co-ordinator and RBS Business & Commercial Banking
Manager Wayne Bowers says: "This is now something of a
well-established tradition among Leicestershire's professional
services firms. As always, the summer league provides us with a
good excuse to regularly get together, compete, as well as great
way to raise money for several vital charities.
"Last year's winners were the new boys from Robert Whowell &
Partners and HBJ Gateley Wareing - who beat the previous two years
winners Tenon - so the gauntlet has been thrown down to everyone
for the coming summer. Robert Whowell & Partners and HBJ
Gateley Wareing fielded a very strong side last year and they have
raised the benchmark for the rest of the teams. But I'm confident
there will be some very stiff competition for top spot this
year."
