Kevin Peterson Opens Woodall Spa Cricket Clubs New Practice Nets

After years of use the two practice lanes at the club had seen better days. With the batsmen facing the west the setting sun had always been a problem. The new facility has two Premier Systems and one Test Match Systems for the batting ends to cater for all levels within the club. Artificial grass surround surfacing to a total area of 26.00 x 12.00m with a 18.30m long netting. Batting screens have been included behind the batsmen to screen the facility from the road. Funding was sought from ECB for a new triple bay facility in the existing location but turned 90 degrees to avoid the sun. Despite the wet July and a burst drain causing frequent flooding delays the works progressed steadily and completed 2 days before the official opening with a very special guest!
