Star-studded charity cricket match coming to Luton next month
One of Luton’s cricket clubs will host a celebrity match in August – with all the money raised going to charity.
David Hoskins, from Stevenage FC, has held six charity matches since 2012, and this year’s event, at Luton Town and Indians Cricket Club, will be the last fixture in the series.
The events started out as the Phil Milton Memorial Game, initially fundraising for a hospice.
Since 2012, more than £82,000 has been raised for different causes, with August’s match collecting donations for Feed Up Warm Up, a Hertfordshire charity helping people on the brink of homelessness.
This year’s game is especially poignant as it is held in memory of David’s late father, Lt Col John Hoskins MBE RA, who died on the eve of the 2025 match.
Former international cricketer Monty Panesar will get stuck in with the match on August 2, coming back to his first cricket club in Wardown Park.
He said: “We're going to have Mick Harford, David James, Alex Revell - the current Stevenage manager - and Dave Hoskins himself. We're going to raise lots of money for Feed Up Warm Up.
“Please come and join us, August 2, save the date.”
Luton Town legend, Mick Harford, is a regular at these charity matches.
He said: “A big shoutout to the charity cricket happening on August 2.
“We need to win it this year. Please come along and support us.”
The game is free to attend, and gates will open at 9am.
