Cricket Pitch Available – Opportunity for a New Team!

Northleach is seeking a 🏏 cricket team to bring life back to its cricket square. Following the cancellation of Minety & Northleach CC’s fixtures, the pitch is now available for use and offers a great opportunity for a new or established team to call it home.

What’s on offer?

  • A well-located cricket square with potential for matches or training sessions.
  • Free grounds fees for the first year as an incentive to get started.
  • Support from the local council and community to help revive cricket in Northleach.

What’s required?

  • Teams must provide their own equipment to maintain the square.
  • Commitment to keeping the pitch in use and building a local cricket presence.

This is a fantastic chance for a new club to form or an existing team to expand. There’s also the possibility of developing a junior team, with many local youngsters keen on the sport.

To learn more or express interest, please contact flam.wellman@northleach.gov.uk.

Let’s keep the cricketing spirit alive in Northleach!

Act quickly – if no interest is shown by June, alternative plans will be considered.
