- CRICKET By CHRIS OSTICK

FORMER Lancashire captain Steven Croft rounds off his testimonia­l year with a winter spectacula­r later this month.

Red Rose legends and players past and present - as well as stand-up comedian Justin Moorhouse – will be joining the all-rounder at the Lowry Hotel on Saturday, November 17 for a glittering finale to the year.

Money raised at the event – which includes a three-course fine dining menu and live music courtesy of The DB’S will go towards Croft’s nominated charities, Brian House Children’s Hospice and the PCA Benevolent Fund.

“It’s been an eventful year and one that I’m incredibly grateful for,” said Croft, who captained Lancashire to the 2015 NatWest T20 Blast.

“To be awarded a testimonia­l year by your county is a huge privilege and I feel proud to be representi­ng Lancashire both on the field and through my testimonia­l events.

“I’m especially grateful for all the support I’ve received over the past few months, both personally and for my chosen charities.

“I can’t think of a better way of rounding off the year and kick starting the festive season.”

Tickets for the event are priced at £60, which includes arrival drink, three-course meal, tea, coffee and petit fours.
