Orrell RUFC and Winstanley Park Cricket Club have joined forces to develop a new community sports club aimed at boosting activities for local children.
The 13-acre site next to Winstanley College will feature two rugby pitches, a cricket pitch, club house and changing rooms. For Winstanley CC, this new base will see them vacate their current ground where they have been since 1878. The new family-orientated facility will also play host to Orrell RUFC, who have finally found a home 10 years after leaving their Edge Hall Road ground.
Both clubs have invested a significant amount into the three-phase project, and will soon announce a fund-raising drive to secure cash needed to get the club and pitches up and running. If you can help please contact Tony Havlin: 07802 788356, tony.havlin@btinternet.com.
