Herefordshire Cricket Headquarters

6 Jun 2024   |   By Richard Cox

Herefordshire Cricket Centre has recently had a facelift thanks to investment from Section 106 monies.

Outdated signage and showers have been replenished thanks to a funding pot released towards housing on Canon Pyon Rd. This has allowed the headquarters of Cricket in Herefordshire to update its facilities which provides cricket for Whitecross School pupils as well as youngsters from across the County. This includes the Cricket Disability Programme as well as hosting some county matches for the girls and boy’s county teams.

The project has included the installation of four new showers and cubicles to encourage more female cricket at the venue as well as an internal refurb of the buildings in addition to the signage making it easier for cricket visitors to locate the centre and its parking areas.

Speaking on behalf of Herefordshire Cricket Richard Cox said ‘ the facility is the only ground within the city boundaries of 60,000 people and we need to look after it nurture it and develop it for the future of the game. This investment allows us to play more cricket on the site and encourage the already burgeoning female game to grow further. We are indebted to Herefordshire County Council and the Herefordshire Sports Partnership for their continued support in this area and we aim to invest further over the coming months to make the site even more welcoming for cricketers and their families.
