Last year the game was cancelled because of the weather, but the Dragons are keen to keep their winning title after their victory in 2012.
The Dragons side will once again be captained by Pat Leach who has assembled a squad that includes the likes of Aled Brew, Jason Tovey, Andy Powell and Lewis Evans who are all keen to rack up a few runs on Sunday.
Usk Cricket Club Captain Henry Lewis said "We are once again extremely grateful and privileged that the Dragons have agreed to play us in what's become a great day for the club and the town. Regretfully last years event was rained off so we've had to bide our time to avenge 2012's last ball defeat, we know that they have strong cricketers amongst their squad so it won't be easy.
“Fingers crossed for some decent weather and a big crowd to help raise much needed money for our chosen charities, both of whom have given immeasurable personal support to several families at our club".
Ahead of the match Newport Gwent Dragons’ Pat Leach commented, “The boys and I are very excited to be taking on Usk Cricket Club in the T20. It was a shame that last year the match was rained off but we all look forward to a great day out and hopefully a win for the Dragons.
“Once again they are two great causes that we are playing for so I hope that our fans come along to support us, as it will be a fun day for all who attend.”
The match itself starts at Usk Cricket Ground at 3pm and Usk's talented juniors will be playing a game at 1pm as a warm-up.
There will be lots going on throughout the afternoon and it promises to be a great day out for the whole family.
Entry is just £3 for adults and just £1 for children!
