The club, based close to the housebuilder's Centurion Village development on Longmeanygate, has overhauled its facility which features four astro-turf lanes and is used by the club five nights a week for practice and on match days at weekends.

Following the refurbishment, the new facility meets all the required safety standards so the club can offer a safe and controlled environment for people in the local area to practice cricket.

Ian Farrington, Secretary at Leyland Cricket Club, said: “Leyland Cricket Club is a community organisation that aims to play an important role in the local area by providing access to sport to as many people as possible from all backgrounds.
