A Mansfield man who has supported grassroots cricket for more than 16 years is heading to Wembley thanks to a local recruitment firm.
James Bowker, Head of Cricket at Farnsfield Cricket Club, has been chosen to receive four hospitality tickets for England’s UEFA Nations League match against Spain at Wembley.
The tickets were offered by Mansfield-based recruitment specialists Senior Salmon, which asked local grassroots sports clubs to nominate deserving people.
James was nominated for his contribution to Farnsfield Cricket Club, including his work supporting junior, senior and women’s and girls’ cricket.
The 32-year-old says he was surprised to be nominated and plans to take three close friends to the match.
Senior Salmon says James was a worthy winner and hopes he and his friends have an “awesome experience” at Wembley.
