On Friday afternoon at 3pm a group of Somerset players will be taking the impressive Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy to Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital to show to the youngsters in the Children's Ward.
As well as showing the cup to the patients, one of the players will be cutting the ribbon to rename the ward.
Among those expected to attend tomorrow's renaming ceremony are Ian Blackwell, Steffan Jones, Keith Dutch, Mike Burns, Carl Gazzard and Simon Francis.
The players will also be talking with the youngsters and giving out free Junior Sabres tee shirts, fixture cards and picture postcards signed by England star Marcus Trescothick.
Ahead of the visit to the hospital Steffan Jones told me, "We are putting something back into the community which is important from our point of view. People come to support us and in this way we are showing that we are supporting them.We are really down to earth ordinary people who want to help others in anyway that we can."
