Cleethorpes Cricket Club can confirm that the Lashings All Stars XI will play a fixture against the Yorkshire League club this season.
After months of negotiations the Club's Executive committee voted unanimously to invite the star studied club to their Chichester Road ground for a match that will take place on
Wednesday 30th July 2014 and will be one of Lincolnshire sport's greatest ever events.
Lashings officials visited the ground for a meeting recently and were delighted at what they saw and the vision given to them for the day by the club's newly formed Lashings Committee.
Lashings, likened to the famous basketball side the Harlem Globetrotters, will guarantee to bring at least 11 international cricketers to the fixture with the likes of Courtney Walsh and Gordon Greenidge being regulars. (More names to follow once confirmed)

It promises to be a magnificent day and I know every member is looking forward to welcoming such cricketing greats to our ground and facilities. In a contract between ourselves and Lashings it is guaranteed that 11 past and present international cricketers will play.”
Cricket Chairman Paul Hewstone added “ It takes a lot of hard work by a lot of people to be able to hold such a prestigious event and just shows why we are recognized as the Premier Cricket Club in the area, I am sure this will be a fantastic occasion not just for the club but for the whole area “
The club will now be on the lookout for main sponsors for the day as well as selling corporate tickets for the event where guests will get the opportunity to eat with the players and officials of Lashings prior to the afternoon match and bid for some highly unusual sporting memorabilia.
Mr Haith added: “It is a going to be a huge effort from all involved and I will urge any cricket lovers to make sure they book the date in their diaries to ensure they don't miss out.”
