SUPPORTERS’ ASSOCIATION FUND NEW HYBRID NET SYSTEM AT NEW ROAD

Worcestershire Supporters’ Association have funded a further net system for Worcestershire CCC at a cost of around £25,000.

 The system, consisting of several hybrid SIS grass wickets, follows on from the Association purchasing an initial new £45,000 net complex two years ago.

Association Chairman, Andrew Jenkins, said: “The Association was delighted to fund the new netting system to add to the one purchased a couple of years ago.

 “We all hope the players and coaches reap the benefits for many years to come.”

 Worcestershire Cricket Steering Group Chairman, Paul Pridgeon, said: “A big thank you to the Supporters’ Association for their funding of these nets.

 “As someone associated with this club for almost 50 years, I know just how much they have contributed to the club.

 “They have been fantastic to us and provided all sorts of bits and pieces that we needed financially.

 “ We wanted hybrid nets because they have a much longer life span and they are also much more resistant to flooding.”
