WHITE Coppice Cricket Club have been bowled over with a £1,000 grant from The Lancashire Cricket Board.
The board awarded the club the cash to help fund the refurbishment of the pavilion.
The grant was obtained through the Lancashire County Cricket Club Development Association and has already been put to use.
Club treasurer Geoff Haydock said: "The pavilion is over forty years old and new cladding has now been put on the outside, we have improved the roof as well. It cost almost £3,000 and apart from the grant the rest was paid for with club funds."
The club, which has two senior teams and a junior side, have also submitted a grant application to the lottery funded "Awards for All scheme" for £5,000, to pay for an artificial practice pitch.
