Cricket Tour in England

My name is Hugh, I am 15 years old and my brother (Flynn, 17yrs old) and I are raising money for a trip to England to play cricket at a competitive level. Flynn and I are super excited to have been selected to go to England on a tour for 1 month to play cricket on some of the best grounds there - such as Windsor Castle, Eton College and Sheffield Park. We will be playing against some high-level players. We have been playing cricket every opportunity we get here in Australia and have been really lucky to be able to play in some great teams. We have been lucky enough to play all over NSW in club and representative teams. Dad built a cricket net in the yard so we can practise when we are not at school.

The tour is 4th of July 2023 - 7th of August 2023

This is a one-off opportunity that many people my age would never even dream of. We are super excited about this opportunity so we are getting creative to afford the trip.

The money donated will be used to pay for airfares, accommodation, food, game fees, tour fees, uniform and travel fees in England.

Here are some of our stats for this cricket season - we are only halfway through.

We have a goal of $20,000 to cover the tour costs for both of us. As well as GoFundMe, we are doing farm work, selling chickens and selling first aid kits. We are also doing other jobs for people to make this once in a lifetime opportunity a reality. Any donation will be greatly appreciated and your support and generosity will be the reason that we get to play cricket in England.
