A GROUP of people hoping to restore a cricket club back to its former glory have been bowled over by a donation from a housing developer.
Higham Cricket Club has existed for more than 100 years and became a focal part of the community, but fell on hard times.
The £500 sponsorship from Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire will provide new kits for the club’s first and Sunday teams, which play near the homebuilder’s Kingstone Grange development.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
