SOME of the region’s leading sportsmen went head-to-head at Pleasington Golf Club in an event to support the Lancashire cricketer Gary Keedy.
Stars from the worlds of football and rugby league joined members of the Lancashire first team for a Celebrity Golf Day, which was organised by Daniel Thwaites and formed part of Gary’s Benefit Year celebrations.
Celebrity golfers included Lancashire captain Glen Chapple and his Red Rose team-mates Mal Loye, Mark Chilton, Paul Horton and Oliver Newby, and former Sale Sharks star Steve Hanley.
Gary said: “I’d like to say a big thank-you to Daniel Thwaites for their continued support."
“I had a fantastic day and it was great to see so many familiar faces from the world of sport turning out to support me.”
Lee Williams, marketing manager for Daniel Thwaites, added: “As sponsors of Lancashire Cricket Club, we are delighted to help Gary in any way we can during his Benefit Year.”
Daniel Thwaites have been proud shirt sponsors of Lancashire County Cricket Club for the past two seasons.
