The Club has been granted special dispensation for the immediate
future to play in the Devon League A Division without a
sightscreen after vandals drove a car into the sightscreen at
the Kensham Park ground last weekend. The car was then set on
fire and both vehicle and sightscreen destroyed in the blaze.
Chairman Derrick Foan was horrified and said,
�It looked more like Beirut than our usually
picturesque and tranquil ground in good old rural Devon;
it's a shocking thing to happen."
Francis Clark Devon League rules say that sightscreens must
be used at grounds staging Senior County Cricket. Bradninch have
been granted an exemption whilst the matter is in the hands of
the Police, Fire Brigade and Insurance Company.
A listing on the Devon League website is as follows -
24.07.06 Bradninch site screen destroyed...
Vandals drove a member�s car into the site screen and set
fire to both. Police and fire brigade were called. Visiting
clubs are advised that Bradninch will be without a sightscreen
for future matches. |
