‘Wrecked and ruined’ practice lanes could be replaced to the benefit of young Penarth cricketers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

PLANS to revitalise the Penarth’s community’s cricket and tennis facilities have been approved by the town council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penarth Cricket Club will now apply for grants of about \u00a370,000 to build four netted cricket lanes and give the next-door tennis courts a makeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have needed this since 2017,\u201d says club chairman Mark Frost.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 450 members of all ages, including 350 junior players, the club has struggled to cope for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Frost said that as the junior members get older the need for safer and better resources increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
