Ebberston Cricket Club are holding a fundraising event this afternoon in memory of a former player.
The club are hosting two charity cricket matches in honour of David Hayward, who took his own life in December.
There will be live music, food and drink, face painting, an auction and a raffle throughout the afternoon with all money raised going to Councilling North Yorkshire and Andy's Man Club.

Machen admits that it's going to be an emotional day for everyone involved.
Raffle tickets can be bought through the Ebberston Cricket Club Facebook page.
