Young Tykes' fans can catch up with Evening Press columnist Chris Silverwood on Sunday.

That's when he will be among a clutch of Yorkshire stars providing expert tips to wannabe cricketers and enthusiasts at the Western Union junior open day at Headingley.

There will be several small-sided games for the youngsters, as well as a question and answer session for the Yorkshire favourites.

And there will also be a prized autograph-signing session in the event ahead of the Norwich Union League showdown between Yorkshire Phoenix and Northamptonshire Steelbacks on Sunday afternoon.

The Western Union Junior Tyles Club is aimed at encouraging young cricketing talent to develop an interest in the sport.
