Providing support and funding to cricket clubs across the country as they return to cricket.
By Shireshead and Forton Cricket Club
Shireshead CC are hoping to fund a range of practice equipment such as two self-feeding bowling machines ('Feed Buddy)', and a set of practice balls to go with it.
The 'Feed Buddy' enables individuals to practice on their own as it is an automated feeder system. The cost is 85 pounds each and we aim to purchase two. This means that players can practice on their own and coaches can focus on developing techniques rather than feeding balls. They will be available for use by seniors, ladies and juniors to develop technique and facilitate coaching.

Why it's a great idea:

The individual user can take responsibility for developing their own game at any time. It will increase the range of experiences available at practice sessions and other times to enable players to develop specific batting skills.
Steps to get it done:
The club prides itself on increasing participation and inclusivitu
