Mynthurst Cricket Club, founded in 1998, is a vibrant, community-focused club offering youth, girls’, and adult matches, coaching, school partnerships, and local events.
We are seeking funding to purchase cricket pitch covers for Mynthurst Cricket Club to protect our wicket from adverse weather. Our current lack of covers has resulted in frequent match cancellations, particularly during increasingly unpredictable summer weather, affecting school, youth, adult, and women’s games.
Protecting the pitch is essential to ensure player safety, improve performance, and reduce costly repairs. Covers will keep the playing surface dry and consistent, reducing the risk of injury and providing fairer, higher-quality games. This investment supports greater community participation and engagement while lowering long-term maintenance costs.
Key Benefits:
1. Improved Playing Conditions – A dry, consistent pitch ensures safer play and better performance.
2. Fewer Cancellations – Reliable covers mean more games and practice sessions, regardless of weather.
3. Stronger Community Engagement – A more dependable schedule will increase attendance, participation, and local interest.
4. Club Growth & Reputation – A well-maintained ground enhances the club’s image and appeal to new members and sponsors.
5. Sustainability – Covers will reduce maintenance costs and support regular activities that keep the club vibrant.
New covers will help safe cricket, enhancing community access to sport, and ensuring the club’s long-term sustainability.
