WEDNESDAY, 9.00AM:
UNITED Cricket Board MD Ali Bacher announced yesterday the UCB will donate 20% of all ticket sales last summer to disadvantaged sports. The sum, over R4-million, will be divided between the board’s development programme, the Sports Trust, and towards improving cricket facillities in disadvantaged areas.
Bacher said over a million people had bought tickets in the season, and ticket sales amounted to R24,5-million, what he called “an extraordinarily successful season”.
