The Scarborough RUFC player said: “It’s certainly going to be a busy weekend for me.
“The weekend’s events start with Friday’s race night and disco at the Red Lion pub, 7.30pm, and there will also be a raffle.
“On Sunday we have the cricket match, I hope I can lead my side to their seventh successive win as I have steered my line-up to victory in all six games so far.

“I know what my team is but we generally keep the line-ups secret from each other to add to the competition.
“The party atmosphere carries on into the evening and it should be a great day for everyone.”
The event starts at 12.30pm on Sunday with a family fun day with races and ‘old school’ events and a ladies rounders match.
There will be refreshments and a barbecue throughout the afternoon and another raffle as well as live music into the evening.
