Lustleigh Cricket Club get help towards facilities…
The Lustleigh Show has helped to support Lustleigh Cricket Club over many years in their quest towards providing better facilities and grounds required by their increasing success.
The Lustleigh Cricket Club pitch was described by Peter O’Toole as “A lovely little ground in a lovely little South Devon village. The ground is surrounded by trees, with hills on one side and Dartmoor on another. The river Wrey meanders along one side. It is a small ground so a big hit easily clears the river. The Cleave pub is just twenty yards from the entrance gate so it’s hard to know what else a cricketer could want from this delightful ground”.
For 2024, the Lustleigh Show is able to provide funding towards compliance with the ECB Safety Specifications for personnel protection and for updating the boundary fencing…
ECB Safety Specifications Compliance…
Our batting helmets no longer comply with ECB safety specifications, which now require added protection around the side of the neck. We are now able to purchase about 6 new helmets.
Boundary Fencing…
Our boundary fence is not very effective at stopping balls from disappearing into the river or our president’s garden. We are now able to purchase and install a series of posts, which would better hold our summer season boundary fence in place.
