Making the announcement, Lisburn Cricket Club Chairman, David Simpson said: “We are delighted to announce NIPANC as our charity partners for 2023, and look forward to working with them over the next year to raise funds and awareness of pancreatic cancer.

"As a club we have had a number of our members impacted by pancreatic cancer, and wanted to play our part in supporting NIPANC in their vital work of increasing our understanding of this cancer, as well as providing advice and support to those directly impacted and their families.

"Visitors to Wallace Park will see some NIPANC branding around the place, as well as some information on the symptoms of pancreatic cancer inside our clubhouse.

"In addition we will offer our members and visiting supporters the opportunity to make a donation to help the vital work of the charity, and hold a special event for NIPANC during our last home game of the season.

"Anyone interested in learning more about the work of NIPANC or how they can donate should keen an eye on our social media channels over the coming weeks.”
