Market Rasen Town Cricket Club received the perfect early Christmas present last week, as their new nets were completed. The five week project is the culmination of years of planning and effort from the club and is the perfect boost at the half-way point of the close season.
The two-bay practice facility has been laid with Notts Sports (TM) artificial turf and is surrounded by high quality security fencing. The club will be holding an official opening of the new nets in 2012, details will be forthcoming nearer the time.
The club would like to thank Simon Bingham and the team from Bingham Ground Services for all of their hard work over the course of the project, as well as the ECB, and particularly Niall Young, for providing the grant that helped to make the work possible. Finally, the club would like to again thank the hard work and time spent by Ian Williams, Catherine Fussey and Mark Robinson, without whom this project would never have come to fruition.
Hope they pay as much attention to producing a decent playing surface out in the middle !
ReplyDeleteI find it most annoying that people insist on commenting when they havent got anything useful to say!!!
ReplyDeleteMarket Rasen are a credit to Lincolnshire Cricket. They have an excellent junior set up that are this years County Champions at under 13 level, as well as doing much to promote cricket for women and girls in the county.
Not all clubs are fortunate to have people who are prepared to put 6 to 10 hours per week into looking after a ground to create a good playing surface. Besides - Market Rasen's ground is up to the Lincs Leagues standards so that is good enough. I have certainly played on worse.
If you insist on posting pathetic comments then please leave your full name so that we may be able to pick faults with the club you are associated with. No doubt there will be a good few to go at
