Help Pete and Izzy to get from their wedding in North Wales to Lord's in time for Pete to play in the National Village Cup Final

We've done it! Pete and Izzy will be able to fly from their wedding in North Wales on 5th September to Lord's Cricket Ground by 10am on 6th September, to fulfil Pete's lifetime ambition of playing for Blackheath Cricket Club in the final of the National Village Cup.

Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this and made it possible.  There were contributions not just from club members and our sponsors (Seymours Guildford), but other local clubs from the I'Anson League (where Blackheath plays its cricket), from other clubs we played along the way on our journey to final, and from many people all over the country who loved the story - including a very generous late contribution from Piers Morgan!

As we've smashed through the target, any surplus funds, and any more donations, will be donated to the charity that Pete and Izzy are supporting at their wedding. That charity is Kids for Kids (https://kidsforkids.org.uk/) which supports children in Sudan, which was very close to Pete's mum's heart.

Many thanks again to everyone and fingers crossed for the final!
