Going, Going, Gough!

The Yorkshire County Cricket Club is proud to announce details of a special event to celebrate the career of our departing skipper, Darren Gough.

On the evening of September 22nd we are taking-over Saviles Hall at the Royal Armouries in Leeds in order to give Goughie a spectacular send-off. Joining the great man for the evening will be a number of his friends from the worlds of both cricket and dancing.

Darren has given astonishing service to the club during his two spells at Headingley Carnegie. It is only right that we help him mark the end of his First Class career by hosting a party to remember.

Tables of 10 cost £995 (plus VAT) and can be booked by contacting Howard Ferguson on 0113-2033637 or howard@yorkshireccc.com
