NEWCLOSE County Cricket Ground will again be hosting a day of top-quality cricket on the Isle of Wight, with free entry on the day, this coming week.
Hampshire’s second XI will meet the ECB Unicorns — a team of minor counties and first class county players — in two T20 games at the top Newport venue on Thursday from noon.
Last year, Newclose hosted matches between Hampshire and Sussex’s second XI sides and between Hampshire and Lancashire seconds in a championship play-off.
The event's sponsors include the Isle of Wight County Press.
Work is also going on behind the scenes to bring more professional games to Newclose, including first team county matches, according to the Isle of Wight Cricket Board.
