VANDALS TARGET KINGSTON LACY
Cricket pitch torn up by 'donuts'
The Bournemouth Echo has reported that over the Bank Holiday weekend Kingston Lacy Cricket Club's pitch was ruined by joyriders.
The paper reports that the Club has been left "devastated after discovering a car had been driven over the ground, leaving deep marks in the grass".
It is believed that the pitch will be left unusable for some considerable time following the incident.
The mother of one of the team's players, Jacqueline Charman, is quoted as saying, "It’s just unbelievable. One man works all through the winter to keep the pitch just right. He nurtures it – it’s like the Oval. For all that time and heart that’s gone into it to be wasted is just heartbreaking."
