It\u2019s a great way to stay connected to the sport, meet new people, and stay physically active.<\/p>\n<p>Walking Cricket continues to grow, and we\u2019re pleased to be running weekly sessions in Coventry and Handsworth. Delivered in partnership with The Bob Willis Fund, these sessions help us raise awareness of prostate cancer while encouraging men to stay active, social, and connected to the sport they love.<\/p>\n<p>Sessions are free and open to men aged 50 and over.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coventry<\/strong> at <span lang=\"EN-US\">Coventry and North Warwickshire Cricket Club<\/span> (Coventry, CV3 1HB) Monday 6pm-7pm (Resumes May).
