Horspath Cricket Club raised £3,000 through a Tape Ball Six-a-side Competition, with the funds split equally between Mind and Oxfordshire Mind.

A cheque presentation recently took place at the clubroom for Oxfordshire Mind.

Olivia White, events and fundraising manager at Oxfordshire Mind, said: "We cannot thank everyone at Horspath Cricket Club enough for their incredible support.

"The funds raised will make a meaningful difference to the lives of people experiencing mental health challenges across Oxfordshire and West Berkshire."

The competition featured ten teams made up of men’s and women’s players, juniors, friends, supporters, and families, and was held at the Recreation Ground in Horspath - around three miles east of Oxford - on August Bank Holiday Sunday.

Teams played in coloured shirts donated by Newtrim UK Ltd, and two matches ran simultaneously throughout the day.

A spokesperson from the Community Fundraising Team said: "The money raised will make a real difference for the one in four of us facing a mental health problem each year."

Horspath Cricket Club secretary Russell Smith said the event was a true team effort.

Mr Smith said: "It was a brilliant effort from everyone involved to raise such an amount for Mind and Oxfordshire Mind and is something the club is very proud of.

"It successfully brought together all sections of the club for a most worthy cause."
