Rashid Memorial Match - An evening of entertainment Sussex CCC Media Release - 28 August 2002
The Umer and Burhan Rashid Memorial Match which takes place on Friday 13 September 2002, is set to be an evening of all-round entertainment of cricket, music and fun, one which we are sure both the brothers would have enjoyed. The gates open at 4pm with speeches and special presentations to take place at 6pm. The match will start at 6.30pm. We will be having live music from LA Zakatek, a band from Croydon who have just signed a five-year recording deal in America. They have a wide following in the South East and before moving to the States in October have offered their support at the Memorial Match. Leon and Amber Zakatek, who front the band, are the children of Lenny Zakatek, former lead singer of The Alan Parson's Project and Gonzalez and who had the Eighties hit `I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet'. Leon was a friend of Umer Rashid and will sing a number of songs, including some of Umer's favourites, before the match and during the break in innings. As well as the entertainment on the pitch between a Sussex XI and Angus Fraser XI (team to be confirmed very shortly) there will be a family entertainment area including face-painting, bouncy castle, jousting and junior coaching. Entrance is by programme at £5 available on the gate or from the Club. Donations to the Umer Rashid Memorial fund are most welcome and should be sent to the County Ground.
