Yorkshire clubs win Aston Lark 2022 Prize Draw

Cricket Yorkshire’s insurance partner, Aston Lark, has revealed the winning cricket clubs in their annual prize draw. 2022 is the third year running that clubs could win one of three cash prizes.

The prize draw closed on 30 April 2022 and winners were drawn at random from those who requested a no-obligation insurance quote or were already insured with Aston Lark.

They had just under 500 entrants – which is a record – and for the second year, Aston Lark awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes to recreational clubs.

The lucky clubs, drawn by Keeley Knight in their Marketing Team, were:

1^st Prize £ 1,000 – Frome Cricket Club, just outside Bath in Somerset

2^nd Prize £ 300 – Maltby Cricket Club in North Yorkshire

3^rd Prize £ 200 – Barwick in Elmet Cricket Club near Leeds in West Yorkshire

After the winners were confirmed, Colin Mico, Aston Lark’s Cricket Scheme Account Handler, said:

“Once again we are happy to support recreational clubs recover after the issues of the last two seasons. Well done to the winners and to Yorkshire! If you would like us to review your insurances to see if we can reduce your costs, please get in touch.”

For cricket clubs assessing their club insurance in future, Aston Lark – with their club cricket know-how – are well worth considering.
