36 colleagues from different services across CHFT all came together at the annual CHFT Cricket Tournament on Saturday, 8th June, held at The Cricket Asylum in Sowerby Bridge.

The six teams competed throughout the day, with the match between Huddersfield Hurricanes and Battyes Swingers and Bowlers being a particular highlight, as despite both teams being -20 points down, they were still cheering and celebrating any small achievement they could make. A special mention to umpire extraordinaire, Hari Bhasin, who held firm with some spectacular decision making.

In the end, Wainstall Warriors were the Tournament winners, after winning all three matches with an impressive 129 runs in total. They were presented with the CHFT Cricket Cup last week. 

Charity Manager, Emma Kovaleski, said “The whole day was an amazing success - what a way to bring our Amazing in Action Week to a close. With a brilliant mix of humour and competition there are so many special moments to remember from the day."

Deputy Medical Director, Neeraj Bhasin, played for Wainstall Warriors and said: “It was another brilliant tournament which was really inclusive and so much fun, whilst still competitive.

"I’m so pleased the Wainstall Warriors won as it really showed what we were trying to achieve. As you can see from the photo, colleagues from different roles coming together as a team, with some family members filling in some last minute gaps. Huge thanks to Emma for pulling everything together and being awesome in the run up and on the day. See you there next year!”
