WALTON-le-Dale Cricket Club has received a donation of £1,000 by Sportsmatch, a government scheme that matches the financial support of a sponsor as a way of promoting grass-roots sports.
Club sponsors, Forbes Solicitors made the initial £1000 contribution, which was then doubled through the 'pound for pound' incentive.
Team captain Mike Cuffin said: "We are delighted to have secured this funding and will now be able to press ahead with developing our facilities so that we can offer an intensive and specialised coaching scheme."
