A

tournament recently to raise
funds for Martha Trust.

Led
by ex-England cricketer Derek
Underwood, famous names from the
sporting world were joined by
paying guests, in a match based
on the Ryder Cup at Dale Hill in
Ticehurst, East Sussex.

Derek Underwood led a
team of past and present
cricketers including
Ross Edwards, Graham
Johnson and Darren
Stevens against a team
of 'All Stars'. The All
Stars were led by
ex-Welsh rugby star John
Taylor and included
jockey Philip Mitchell
and Ladies European Tour
golfers Liza Walters and
Natalie Booth. |

Derek Underwood
explained why he wanted
to support the Martha
Trust golf day: "Martha
Trust provides loving
residential and respite
care to people with
profound and multiple
disabilities in Kent and
East Sussex". He
continued:" I want to
help this small local
charity with its very
worthwhile cause, and
I'm extremely grateful
to all the Cricketers,
All Stars, sponsors,
individuals and
companies who supported
the day". |
|
|
|
|
Emily Shepherd, Director
of Operations for Martha
Trust responded; "We are
delighted that Derek
Underwood and so many
famous sporting names
have supported our
second golf day. The day
has been very enjoyable
and very competitive!" |
|
|
|
|
The Trust raised £6,500
profit from their ticket
sells, auction and
donations. The money
will be used to buy
essential sensory
equipment. |
|
|
|
|
The Trust plans to host
their third golf day in
the New Year. Please
