The rain gods have been defeated. As we all know, Sendholme dries out well after rain due to its sandy base, but the wicket can be soft and slippery long after the outfield is fit for play. For many years the idea of securing mobile covers has been mooted, but the cost and practicalities have not been favourable. However, funds have become available to invest in test match standard covers and they have been installed today at Sendholme.
All we need now is an active local sponsor to add its name to the covers and the project will be complete. Are there any benevolent estate agents, bar owners or IT companies out there who would like to secure this attractive promotional opportunity? Or even an insurance broker wanting to provide extra cover!
