A new ECB-approved triple bay practice facility has been installed at Urmston Cricket Club in Greater Manchester, meaning players can now make the most of top-class training facilities for the first time.
Previously, they had to make do with a single portable cage which was wheeled out on to the club’s main pitch when needed – but, due to regular use of the ground for matches, could only really be used by Urmston’s first team players for once-weekly practice sessions.
Construction of the new triple-bay facility now means that both senior and junior sides now have the time and space to hone their skills as often as they like.
Club chairman Rob Arnold says: “A single mobile net is not enough for a club of our size, and we have been looking for a solution that would allow us to practice much more frequently and give us the opportunity to roll out a proper structured coaching programme.
“The new facility has made a massive difference and we’re delighted not just with the quality of the pitches, but with the professional service we received from Notts Sport Cricket from start to finish.”
