Brewery supports Scarborough Cricket Festival for second year

Hunmanby micro brewery Wold Top Brewery is lending its support to the popular Scarborough Cricket Festival that starts next week (15th August).

The Welcome to Yorkshire Scarborough Cricket Festival gets underway on with a President's XI taking on a David Byas XI which will include various players who appeared in the Championship winning side of 2001.

The President's XI will include England Ladies stars Danielle Wyatt and Arran Brindle and Yorkshire's young-guns Adam Lyth and Gary Ballance. Also in the team, which will be captained by Scarborough's 1st XI captain, Piet Rinke, are former Zimbabwean International Henry Olonga and fellow countryman Ryan Butterworth.

David Byas' XI includes former England international and Yorkshire coach, Craig White, current Yorkshire star, Anthony McGrath, and former Yorkshire quicky Chris Silverwood as well as Byas himself.

As in prior years, the award winning brewery will be supplying Wold Top Bitter in the marquee and the pavilion. Commenting on the festival, brewery owner and former cricketer Tom Mellor said; "It's great to be able to see this level of cricket on our doorstep and it's a privilege to be involved."
