  • BRIGHTWELL-cum-Sotwell CC will officially open their new £20,000 cricket nets at 7pm on Friday.

Club spokesman Jerry Waters said: “It’s quite an achievement for the club as the junior section has only been going for three years and our under 13s won the Oxfordshire Gauntlett Goblett trophy this year.

“We have teams at under nine, 11 and 13 level and aim to start up an under 15s in 2011.

We are looking to recruit players for that age group.”
