GRANT AWARDED - WESTGATE CRICKET CLUB
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to Westgate Cricket Club for a 25m x 8m ground cover sheet. Westgate are a non profit community cricket club, supporting young people from the area by allowing use of their facilities.
They host most of the local junior and secondary schools annual cricket competitions and are working hard to include a greater number of younger players. They run 3 weekend senior teams, under 19s, under 16s, under 13s, two under 11s and under 9s. They received re-accreditation of the much valued ClubMark status in 2023. All of their grounds people and junior coaches are volunteers and they are proud to include 14 fully qualified coaches in their coaching team.
They approached the 3R Foundation with a request to help with the purchase of a 25m x 8m flat cover sheet to protect the playing area from rain. This will allow the wicket to be kept dry and playable again quickly after wet weather, meaning many hours more match time for everyone.
