Town launches cricket ticket contest

Richmond Hill - If you know cricket well, you could win a pair of premium tickets for an international match in Toronto.

The town is holding a Mayors' Cricket Challenge, where 10 residents who correctly answer questions on the sport will attend the India vs. Pakistan Legends of Cricket Live 2007 Charity Festival and Game March 3 at Rogers Centre.

"I am excited about this challenge because I don't know a lot about cricket," Mayor Dave Barrow said. "I hope this challenge will generate a genuine interest for those who might not yet have discovered it, not to mention how fun it can be.

"I know cricket is a challenging game. Recognizing this and learning how to play could be a good way to keep in shape and spend quality time with your friends and family."

The Legends of Cricket Live Charity Festival and Game is the largest cricket event in North America. This day-long match is part of the citywide cricket festival open to everyone, with proceeds going to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
