The Northern Cricket Union has presented the PIPS Charity with a cheque for £650.00

PIPS Charity provides support to individuals who are considering, or who have at some point considered, ending their own lives. PIPS can also provide support for families who have been touched by suicide.

Most of the money was raised by a collection at the Twenty20 Finals day.

The PIPS Charity was chosen as this season's worthy cause following the tragic death of a young cricketer in the North-West earlier in the year.

Since the Union designated the Twenty20 Finals Day as its charity fundraising event some years ago several thousand pounds has been raised for Northern Ireland charities. All of this is due directly to the generosity of local cricket supporters.
