Witney Mills Cricket Club Upgrades Training Facilities with Notts Sport Non-Turf Nets
Witney Mills Cricket Club has taken its practice game to the next level with the installation of state-of-the-art non-turf cricket nets, supplied by Notts Sport, the UK’s leading provider of synthetic cricket systems. The project was expertly delivered by Slatter Cricket and Play, Notts Sport’s South licensee, ensuring a premium finish and long-lasting performance.
The new dual-lane practice facility features the ECB-approved Notts Sport Envelope System, designed to replicate the playing characteristics of a well-maintained natural turf pitch. This innovative solution offers a consistent, high-quality surface while significantly reducing maintenance requirements—perfect for clubs looking to maximize training time and minimize upkeep.
A Three-Year Vision Realised
The development of this project spanned three years, involving detailed feasibility studies, design planning, and cost analysis across multiple potential locations. The chosen site at The Mills presented unique challenges, including restricted access and delicate dry-stone boundary walls. Thanks to precision planning and expert construction, the nets now blend seamlessly into the landscape without compromising the ground’s charm or playing dimensions.
Alex Bennett, Director at Slatter Cricket and Play, commented:
“We worked closely with the club from start to finish, exploring options and overcoming logistical challenges to deliver a facility that meets the highest standards. Witney Mills were fantastic partners throughout the process.”
Supporting Player Development
As an ECB Clubmark-accredited club, Witney Mills is committed to excellence in coaching, community engagement, and player development. With these new practice nets, the club is well-equipped to nurture talent across all age groups and skill levels.
