THE new cricket wicket in Chapelford was tried out for the first time as Chapelford Cricket Club took on a team from Warrington Borough Council.
The home team won by seven runs and Clr Faisal Rashid, who has been the driving force behind the addition to Dakota Park, said he was pleased to see it being used.
He added: “Lots of residents were passing by and watching and were very impressed.
“We’re hoping a junior cricket team can be formed too to encourage younger players to get involved with the sport.”
