CRICKET opportunities in Lymm are on the increase.
After 142 years of cricket at their Oughtrington Lane ground, Lymm Oughtrington Park Cricket Club have secured access to a second ground adjacent to the clubhouse.
This enables another senior team to compete in the Cheshire County League and club chiefs say it will allow them to offer much more cricket playing opportunities to junior, women’s and mixed senior teams.
And to support this expansion, the club will add new changing facilities and refurbish the existing clubhouse.
The refurbishment includes improved changing rooms, umpires room, disabled access and enhanced social areas.
Lymm chairman Steve Gladwin said: “As a result of an agreement with Lymm High School, we have jointly developed a new cricket square and outfield conveniently located near to our clubhouse.
“This, and enhancements to our changing facilities, enables us to offer our growing junior and senior sections much more opportunity to play cricket on a professionally maintained ground.
“This development is an important part of our plan to offer cricket fans in Lymm and district an improving availability and standard of cricket at Oughtrington Lane. New players are very welcome.”
