Who are we?
Heyford CC are a community run cricket club, we currently have three Saturday adult teams playing in Division 3, Division 8 and Division 15 of the Northamptonshire Cricket League.
We run the ECB's All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket programmes, and also have an U10s - U13s teams playing competitive league cricket on a Sunday morning during the summer.
Why are we crowdfunding?
As a result of a fire at Heyford Playing Fields on Friday Evening (believed to be started deliberately), we are devastated to report the Heyford CC Storage Unit took the majority of the damage, and as a result we have lost all of our Grounds Equipment (including our recently purchased Roller, Mowers, and all Ancillary Equipment), amounting to thousands upon thousands of pounds damage. Longer term, we’ll be working with our friends at HSC to resolve this, and short term, we’ll be doing our very best to fulfil our remaining home fixtures as best we can.
The estimated cost to replace all the equipment is not yet fully known so we will be updating this page as more information and costs become available.
How we’ll spend the money raised
Hire and replacement of equipment and storage facilities while we repair and rebuild.
Community impact
We are an essential part of the fabric of Nether Heyford and the surrounding villages, offering people of all ages and communities a chance to play cricket, socialise and develop. We are hopeful for your support so we can continue to run the club and our wonderful cricketing community.
