Twenty20 match to mark 9/11

A Twenty20 match is to be held tomorrow at Grace Road comprising local Christian clergy and Muslim imams to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The Christian and Muslim teams first met in a football match earlier in 2006, where the imams won 5-0. It was decided to have a rematch in a different sport.

Bishop Stevens said: "I am looking forward to playing this game myself, though that may not lead to a clergy victory.

"The work of the Muslim-Christian dialogue is seen as a model of how to break down negative stereotypes and adds to community cohesion."

The match will start at 1600 BST on Monday 11 September.
