Division One ambition for Martham Cricket Club

We’re delighted to support Martham Cricket Club with funding for roll-on pitch covers, which will help the team gain promotion to Division One leagues.

The local village team has gone from strength to strength and works hard to continually improve club facilities. With over 70 members, two adult teams and three youth teams, Martham Cricket Club have just achieved ECB Club Accreditation, with their first team top of the league. In order to be considered for promotion to Division One, the club needs to protect the wicket with roll-on covers. The pitch covers will ensure the ground is protected, enabling teams to play throughout the season, even in poor weather.

The club plays an important part in the local community and aims to keep growing, reaching the wider community, providing opportunities for more people to play recreational cricket in a safer environment, with better facilities for prospective players.

Every penny helps this community club to continue to thrive, growing youth links in particular. Such a generous donation from a respected local business is a fabulous gesture - appreciated by all associated with MCC, thank you.“ Kelly Spencer, Hon. Treasurer.

We wish Martham Cricket Club every success for the future and look forward to seeing their progress along the way.

The small village cricket club has two first teams and a thriving youth set-up for the under 9s, under 11s and under 13s. The club plays an important part in the local community, with training and playing at Martham Playing Field, and sharing its changing rooms with local Martham Football Teams.

The club is working hard to achieve ECB Clubmark accreditation, to show the club is ‘sustainable, well run and provides the right environment for its members.’ It also means the ‘club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages, as well as assuring parents and carers that they are choosing the right option for their young people.’ The England and Wales Cricket Board

The grant will be used to replace sight screens which were damaged in high winds and, as a condition in achieving ECB Clubmark accreditation, the club is replacing the screens with new moveable and lightweight sight screens.
