We don’t like cricket… we LOVE it!

LDH vs KCC Annual Cricket Match

With the cricket season about to kick off, Lake District Hotels is proud to offer their support for a second year running to Keswick Cricket Club, as the clubs main sponsor. Both parties see the sponsorship arrangement as being a mutually beneficial one and last summer Dani Hope (Marketing Director for Lake District Hotels) leant a hand at the opening ceremony of their new £16,000 practice net area, by cutting the tape, along with Henri Olonga (former Zimbabwe test cricketer).

Keith Richardson, KCC chairman added, “The contribution that Lake District Hotels makes to Keswick Cricket Club is fantastic. Without support such as this, and that from our many other sponsors and supporters, both companies and individuals, it would be very difficult to grow and to thrive in the way that we have as a club in recent years.”

Last summer staff from our Lake District Hotels group joined forces for the first time to play a cricket match against Keswick Cricket Club on their award winning Fitz Park. Putting in hours of practice, our strong team managed to beat the hosts and were completely bowled over with the victory! This year we are expecting Keswick Cricket Club to field a much stronger team, so will up our game appropriately! This summer’s game takes place on Thursday 23rd July (6pm) at Fitz Park and everyone is welcome to come along and watch.

Dani Hope, marketing director of Lake District Hotels Ltd, commented, “It’s been a pleasure to sponsor Keswick Cricket Club for the last 2 years and support such a great local sport. We are all looking forward to the match on the 23rd July and plan to have a strong team on our side! Go team LDH!”
