CRICKET: Ipswich Town will have former goalkeeper Graham Napier on hand for advice when they take on Ipswich and East Suffolk CC in a 20/20 game at Chantry Park tomorrow night (start 6.15pm).

Colchester-born Napier played regularly in goal for the Blues youth team before concentrating on cricket with Essex.

Two years ago he struck 16 sixes in a record-breaking 20/20 knock of 152 not out against Sussex at Chelmsford.

Currently out injured, Napier will be a special guest at Chantry Park where admission and car parking are free and proceeds will go to one of Ipswich Town’s nominated charities – Cancer Campaign in Suffolk.

The Blues’ first team squad is expected to be out in force for their first ‘home’ game since returning to training.

Skipper Jon Walters will take charge of the side, and he said: “We’ve not got too many cricketers in our team but we will give it a go.

“The game is for a very worthy cause. Hopefully the weather will stay fine, there will be a good crowd and we can hit some sixes.”

There will be a raffle for one of cricket legend Shane Warne’s shirts with a limited edition supply of charity miniature cricket bats on sale at �10 with Town players available to add to the signatures already on them.

IESCC organised a website auction with the highest bidder gaining a place in their side to face the Blues.

This is the third time the teams have met in four years with the score currently standing 1-1.

Entrance is via London Road with refreshments available and a bouncy castle and other attractions for younger fans.
