Howzat for partnership working!

BLFRS supported the STUMPS Cricket Festival in June, with teams of young players from all over Luton taking part. STUMPS (Seven a side Tournament Uniting Multicultural People in Sports) was organised by Luton Borough Council’s Community Development Service.

The event was a huge success with Kingsway Cricket Club emerging as the eventual winners, beating favourites Challney Boys in a gripping final that went all the way to the last over.

Along with the hotly contested 20/20 cricket action, there was a range of other family activities including indoor games, art and craft displays, refreshments and fire safety leaflets were handed out to the crowds.

BLFRS sponsored the trophies, which were presented to the winning team by Deputy Mayor of Luton Cllr Mohammed Farooq.

Area Commander Dave Fothergill said “This is another great example of partnership working at its best and we hope to be able to support the event next year.”
