ALL cricketers dream of reaching 100, but Talybont/Rachels 1st team captain Vinod Matthew recently bettered that tenfold by raising £1,000 for a charity close to his heart.

Having seen many friends and family members suffer from physical and mental ill-health, Vinod grew a splendid moustache for ‘Movember’.

Since coming to Aberystwyth from Kerala in India, Vinod has raised a lot of money for the charity.

Vinod was supported in his efforts by his cricket and badminton team-mates, his colleagues at Barcud Housing Association, fellow worshippers at Elim Church and the local Malayali and wider Asian community. He wishes to express his gratitude to all.
