New Ground Secured for Lisvane Cricket Club
After years of searching, Lisvane Cricket Club finally has its own ground having secured a 25-year lease of the old YMCA sports ground, a few miles down the lanes in St Mellons. The ground has not been used for about five years and there is great deal of work required on the playing field, the square, the Club House and the changing facilities.
It is hoped that the new ground will host all youth (from Under-9s to Under 17s) training sessions in the summer of 2008. If things go to plan, it might even be possible to hold a small number of friendly matches towards the end of the summer. The new ground will provide the only club-based cricket venue in the north east of Cardiff.
ECB/NatWest CricketForce comes to Lisvane CC – 4/5/6 April 2008
Recognising the enormous potential presented by the new facilities, the ECB has recognised Lisvane CC as a showcase club for their 2008 NatWest CricketForce event. This is fantastic news – it is the first time a club in Wales has been selected and it gives club activities a whole new impetus.
The main focus of the ECB/NatWest CricketForce support is the weekend of 4/5/6 April when the Club will host a wonderful jamboree to accompany work on the facilities. The presence of the NatWest cricket road show and professional cricketers on Saturday 5 April is planned to draw in the crowds and provide the best possible launch to the new facilities. Local dignatories, celebrities, TV and the press will be invited to help gain maximum exposure for the Club. It will be hard work but Lisvane CC and their helpers intend to have a lot of fun as well.
NatWest/ECB CricketForce provides a structure, with ECB support, to approach local businesses to assist via sponsorship of money or materials, for the Club membership to work together to upgrade the facilities. To help maximise the benefits, Lisvane CC will be reaching out to as many people and organizations as possible to get involved. As well as seeking sponsorship, folk will be asked to donate a few hours of their valuable time to help out across the wide range of tasks planned for the weekend.
If you are free, come and take a look at the wonderful location for yourself and get a bite to eat at the Sunday Brunch, 12noon-2pm on Sunday 2 March. The ground is off Pascal Close, which runs off Cypress Drive, St Mellons at the Heronmarsh pub.
Then, if you can, make some time available on Friday 4, Saturday 5 or Sunday 6 April 2008 at the ground to pitch in with a host of other volunteers, including England players and local dignatories at the ECB/NatWest Cricketforce event.

…and lots, lots more! If you think it’ll come in handy, you’re probably right!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make a real difference to the cricketing history of north and east Cardiff and to the future prospects of your local cricket club. Please contribute in any way you can.
