Sting In The Tail, 'the independent voice of Derbyshire cricket' is holding an online auction in aid of a local lad who needs to travel to the States for some treatment.

Alfie is a four year old who suffers from Global Development Syndrome. He has various illnesses including epilepsy and Language & Communication Disorder. We need to raise funds to enable Alfie to have therapy at the Dolphin Human Therapy Centre at Key Largo in Florida.

To help raise funds, we are holding a heavyweight's cricket match in which all the players are over 18 stones. The event will be held at Marehay Cricket Club, Ripley, Derbyshire on Sunday 20th July 2003.

In the evening, an auction will take place in the pavillion, but you can place your reserve bid online now on Sting In The Tail's 'Auction for Alfie' message board. The highest bid placed will become the reserve price for each item.

We already have signed photographs from the Beckhams, a Nasser Hussain signed cricket shirt, autographed cricket bats and a Derby County signed football to name but a few. More items will be added over the next few days.
