Wedgwood Cricket Club is celebrating after being awarded £500 to buy a clickplay roll on pitch which will be invaluable for the development of the younger Cricketers in the Under 8’s age bracket.

Member from Wedgwood Cricket Club, Gareth Copeland, commented “ Just a quick note to thank you and the team over at the RJS foundation. The money will go towards a clickplay roll on pitch which will be invaluable for the development of our younger Cricketers in the Under 8’s age bracket. We’ve seen massive growth in this age group in particular and the new equipment will help us to cope with the demand.”
