- CLUBS in Oxfordshire who have been badly hit by severe flooding and storm damage this winter are being encouraged to apply for funding from Sport England.
The Oxfordshire Cricket Board posted a notice on their website yesterday with details of the organisation’s £5m flood relief fund to help restore pitches and repair sports facilities damaged by the floods and storms.
A summary of the Sport England Fund can be found at sportengland.org/floodfund.
The England and Wales Cricket Board have also pledged to support clubs through its own ‘Emergency Fund’, particularly those that require immediate assistance to ensure cricket can be played during this summer, and those clubs that cannot meet Sport England requirements.
