The game, between a team of NCC vice-presidents and Little Gaddesden Veterans, was played in memory of James Jeavons and was a great success both in terms of it being a great game of cricket (which ended in a tie!) and the large sum of money raised.

The Hospice have thanked the club via the message shown in the image on this page, the text of which is:

Dear Ian and our friends at Northchurch Cricket Club,
