India's loss is Manchester's gain - Food ordered for last 2 days of Test donated to the homeless

Old Trafford Test ended in three days as India lost by an innings and 54 runs against England.

India suffered an embarrassing loss inside 3 days at Manchester’s Old Trafford in the 4^th Test of the ongoing 5-match series in England.

Lancashire County Cricket Club, which owns Old Trafford stadium, didn’t benefit from the early end to the game, losing out on earnings for the 2 lost days of cricket. However, there were those who gained from an early finish of the match too.

The homeless people of Manchester enjoyed a treat of sandwiches, donated by the Lancashire Cricket Club on Monday. The food for the remaining 2 days of cricket, was donated to the homeless.

The organisers made sure that sandwiches ordered in advance for the staffs and volunteers for the last two days of the Test, did not go waste. In the hope of "making a small difference" to the homeless people of the Salford area of Manchester, the authorities donated to the food at the Narrowgate Emergency Accommodation, reports NDTV.

Speaking to the media Martin Crowhurst, project manager for Narrowgate Emergency Accommodation, mentioned that they received the meal at the time of need.

"Monday was a wet and miserable day, so it was great to welcome in our homeless guests to a feast of sandwiches supplied by Lancashire County Cricket Club through the LCCC Foundation.

"We served them up with hot soup and were able to offer more as a takeaway service for the next day. This was especially significant as some daytime drop-in centres for the homeless are currently on summer shut downs.

"That night we were also overbooked, which meant we had to turn some people away, but, we could at least send them away with sandwiches," said Crowhurst.
