BOLTON celebrities will be taking to the cricket pitch in aid of a good cause on Wednesday, August 30.

Radio 1 DJ and former Bolton School pupil Mark Radcliffe and his sidekick 'Lard' will be playing in a match with both current and ex-Bolton Wanderers players.

The match, which is being held to raise cash for two-year-old Nathan Howarth, who suffers from a rare and deadly genetic disorder, has been organised by Farnworth Social Circle Cricket Club and starts at 5.30pm at the Piggott Street venue.

Tickets can be bought on the door priced at £2.
