A cricket club is batting for national success.

Crowhurst Park Cricket Club, near Battle, has been shortlisted for a prestigious award at the 2013 Biffa Awards.

The awards recognise people who transform their communities through Biffa Award funded projects.

The club recently received £38,256 in funding from Biffa to install the new lanes and practice nets with the aim of improving the quality of training.

Now the new facilities will compete against three other projects from across the country in the Biffa Awards Recreation category.

The winners of the award will scoop £2,000 to help further develop the club.

The awards ceremony will be held on September 24 at ThinkTank Birmingham Science Museum.
