Members of Alrewas Cricket Club have been bowled over after a donation helped them purchase a new ride-on mower.

The outfield will be in tip-top condition after the £7,000 grant from the Tarmac LandfillCommunities Fund.

Club spokesperson Tim Aston said:

> “We are so grateful to Tarmac for their generous support – it has already proved a cut above our old tractor.   
>  
> “Not only are we proud to have a cricket ground to match any in the league but it is also a delightful asset to the village which can be enjoyed by the whole community.”  
>  
> Tom Aston, Alrewas Cricket Club

The club was promoted the Premier Division of the Derbyshire County Cricket League for the first time in its 143-year history in 2021, and also fields women’s and junior teams.

Mark Collier, manager at Tarmac’s Alrewas Quarry, said:

> “We are always happy to help our neighbours with community projects.  
>  
> “Alrewas Cricket Club has a long and cherished history with strong support locally and we wish them good luck in the Premier Division.”

> Mark Collier, Tarmac
