Cricket clubs across Northern Ireland could knock their financial worries for six with a £1,000 cash prize this summer thanks to a campaign by KP Snacks (NI) to support its long-standing partnership with The Hundred.

As official Team Partners for the Hundred, KP Snacks is again reaching out to local communities and encouraging more people and families to get active through cricket this summer.

Exclusively in Northern Ireland, the company is offering local cricket clubs, at all levels, the chance to win £1,000 towards much needed cricket gear and equipment.

To be in with a chance of winning the grand prize clubs are invited to email kpsnacksni@duffyrafferty.com  and explain, in no more than 500 words, why they deserve to win £1,000 and how they would use the money to benefit their club or develop cricket in their area.

The closing date for entries is 12 noon on Sunday August 16 – the final day of The Hundred.

“This is our sixth year as Official Team Partner for The Hundred and we are thrilled once again to extend our support at a local level with this brilliant opportunity for Northern Ireland cricket clubs,” said Ricky Watts, Business Account Manager (Northern Ireland) for KP Snacks Ltd.

 “We know the challenges local clubs face, especially when it comes to funding, so this £1,000 prize will provide a much-needed boost at a time when many clubs are grappling with tight budgets, ageing equipment, and dwindling resources – all while continuing to serve as vital community hubs.

 “We know this money would be a real boost for any local club, no matter what level they play at, so I would urge clubs in towns, villages and cities across Northern Ireland to pitch their plea and give themselves a chance of catching the cash!

 “Our long-term partnership with The Hundred is fuelled by our passion to build interest in the game AND to get people – and families – active through cricket, which in turn can have a positive mental and physical impact on those who play."
