EAST RIDING CRICKET SOCIETY

An evening with a difference! Ex-Metropolitan Police officers Chris Watts & Steve Richardson of the ECB Anti-Corruption Unit will give a fascinating insight into the efforts being made to eliminate corruption from cricket.

While the Unit operates a confidential anti-corruption hotline, it is by no means a covert operation and its small team tries to be seen at as many matches as possible around the year.
