Callington waiting to welcome Rob Turner and his Somerset team
Richard Walsh - 3 June 2002



Somerset cricketers will be spending the Jubilee Holiday on Tuesday in Cornwall playing cricket against Callington Cricket Club in a match in aid of Rob Turner's Benefit.

There may be a more relaxed match day atmosphere than usual for the Somerset team, but for Callington this is a very big occasion, and they will be looking to score the double over the Cidermen, having beaten them two years ago in a similar match.

Jamie Hatch, from Callington Cricket Club told me: "This is a very special day for the club. Two seasons ago Peter Bowler brought a side down to play against us and we beat them so we will be looking to win again on Tuesday."

Rob Turner is bringing a strong side down to Cornwall, and is expecting to include England stars Andy Caddick and Marcus Tescothick in the line up.

Earlier today Rob told me: "This will be a most enjoyable way to spend the Jubilee Holiday, it's always good to go down to Cornwall. Most of the first team will be playing and I'm expecting Marcus and Andy to play for me. I look forward to meeting everybody down at Callington and I hope that a lot of people will come along and support the event."

The forty over match gets underway at 2 pm, and there will be a bar and barbeque serving refreshments
