“It is designed to help bring the local community back together again after all the turmoil that Covid - has caused us all.

“With the use of the two sports, we hope to offer a fun and family friendly event, which is free to everyone.

“Everyone is very welcome to come and join in the fun, or just pop by and see what Cound Tennis Club and Cound Cricket Club has to offer.”
