This was my 1st visit to the club, I can say as many other cricket lovers know the arena is very well set up & friendly people as expected. I found it a great venue & will return next season , hopefully the clubhouse will be restored to its high standards after the arson attack few weeks ago.Posted on Google Andrew Conboy19/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
