Devon Cricket Board - Trego coming back to South Devon for curry night out

Trego coming back to South Devon for curry night out

SOUTH Devon Cricket Club went viral on the Internet last month when West Indies star Chris Gayle turned up to play in Peter Trego’s benefit match.
Gayle – the hottest property in world cricket at the time after his record-breaking antics at the World Cup for Somerset in the NatWest T20 competition – emerged from the crowd watching the game with bat in hand to have a go at the bowling.
The subsequent publicity through the Internet - we were the first to break the story at www.devoncricket.com – television, radio and especially social media really put South Devon CC and Newton Abbot on the cricketing map.
Gayle is now back in the West Indies having fulfilled his short-term contract with Somerset.
Trego’s benefit year is still going strong - and he is coming back to Newton Abbot to meet up with his new friends at South Devon over a curry.
The Eastern Eye restaurant in Queen Street has been booked for October 7 for another benefit year fund-raising event.
There will be a three-course curry meal, a sports quiz and a question-and-answer session with Trego (pictured) and some of his Somerset team-mates.
A raffle will be run on the night in aid of the Children's Hospice South West.
Bookings are being taken already at £60 each for a table of four – that’s an affordable £15 each for a curry good night out.
Contact Eric Cole, the secretary of Peter Trego's benefit committee, on 07712 227809 or by email at tregs2015@outlook.com to arrange a ticket.
