An Edinburgh University cricket team from New College, the Edinburgh Theologians’ XI, has landed two 20-20 cricket matches in Rome, in September this year against the Vatican’s newly-formed cricket team, St Peter’s XI.  The matches will be the first in which the Holy City’s team has faced British University opposition. They will be played during the University  theology students’ seven day tour which, though centred on the cricket, will also include  extensive theological and cultural dialogue in Rome, and a visit to the Vatican City.

We are looking to raise a minimum of £3000 for The Change Foundation which aims at improving the lives of disadvantaged and special needs people throughout the world through the power of cricket. All the money we raise is going straight to this charity and the numerous projects it carries out all over the world.

Any donation, no matter how small, will be most appreciated.
