ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE DEADLINE! APPLY IMMEDIATELY!
In a major announcement, Cricket Leinster is today launching a new grant scheme that is open to all clubs playing in competitions organised by Cricket Leinster.
As part of Cricket Ireland's 2016-2020 Strategic plan, the governing body aims to "incentivise clubs to improve facilities through a ground improvement grant/subsidy scheme based on club accreditation standards" - this launch is the first stage of this scheme, with Cricket Ireland making the funding available to Cricket Leinster to distribute to clubs.
The amount of each grant made to each club is limited to a maximum of €1000 and a minimum of €250 with clubs being required to match the grant amount with their own funding.
It is intended that clubs will apply for funding for projects that improve the standard of their playing facilities, with items such as scarifiers, line markers, sheet covers, gazebos and containers all being identified as possible purchases.
All applications must be with the secretary of Cricket Leinster, Mary Sharp (msharp@scss.tcd.ie) by 5pm on Friday 9th September 2016.
