Stanford-le-Hope Cricket Club has been awarded £4,500 by Awards for All for a two-bay artificial cricket practice facility.

This important new innovation will be a key part of the continued development of youth cricket at the club. It will also provide a quality cricket net for the senior members to practise.

"Stanford-le-Hope Cricket Club is extremely grateful to Awards for All for the grant," said club secretary John Hicks.

"Without this financial support the club would not be in a position to have the facility installed so soon."
