A superb effort by all club supporters and the local community has seen the club fundraiser go beyond our original target of £20,000. With just under 3 weeks left before the Crowdfunding page ends we currently have raised just over £23,500 and are hoping with the support of our friends, family and local community we can push on further and hit our new stretched target of £30,000 which would mean so much to the cricket club.
