Sarah said reaching the target of �10,000 would be "no easy task" and added she hoped people would "dig deep and donate generously".

The 21-year-old added: "The bar will be open throughout the 24 hour period, so we would like as many people as possible to come down."
The clubhouse is expected to cost around �750,000 to build, of which the club needs to find �150,000.
As well as cricket, the club, which is based in The Walk, hosts hockey, darts and crib matches.
It also acts as a social club for the community.
