As some of you have seen from the Cricketer Cup website, the tournament committee have signed a new title sponsor, Nicholson Gin, to their first season of sponsorship of the Nicholson Cricketer Cup.
As part of their sponsorship, Nicholson will be inaugurating a Player of the Match award at every match, with the winner decided by the two captains, and a bottle of gin to be presented to the winner in front of the pavilion immediately after each match.
There is also an opportunity for all involved in the tournament – players, alumni and supporters – to benefit from a 20% discount to anyone who orders gin online via their website. Simply visit their website (www.nicholsongin.com) and go through the ordering process, and when the system requests a voucher/code, simply input the offer code of Cricket1736. There is no catch – and you don’t have to enter any CC credentials other than your name and address.
Nicholson has a long history of connection with cricket. In 1864 Sir William Nicholson advanced the MCC around £18000 to enable them to buy the freehold of Lord’s.It is thought a grateful MCC changed the club colours from blue to the famous ‘bacon and eggs’.
