Letchworth Cricket Club

Electronic Scoreboard

The Club, based at Whitethorn Lane, runs five senior male teams and a successful ladies team in Hertfordshire. Of the 325 members, 238 are youth players (male and female) ranging in age from under 7’s to under 18’s.

The Club is constantly looking at ways to develop its facilities and felt that the existing scoreboard, sited next to the Clubhouse, needed replacing, updating and moved to the opposite end of the ground.

The total cost of the project was £15,000. The Heritage Foundation awarded a grant of £7,490 towards the cost of the new electronic scoreboard.

The Club estimates that during any one season, it will host approximately 50 different teams. The ground is also the location for the Letchworth Garden City Cricket Day, an event sponsored annually by the Foundation.
