Street Cricket

Bury FC Community Trust in conjunction with Bury East Sports Alliance, Greater Manchester Police will be running 20/20 Street Cricket sessions in the Ball Zone at Openshaw Park from Friday August 6th.

The project has been funded by Bury East's Local Area Partnership and is derived from an imitative pioneered by Cricket 4 Change.

'Street20' Cricket is a fast moving game, designed to be played in crowded urban environments and using facilities such as five-a-side football pitches, basketball courts and sports halls.

Just take 2 bats, 2 sets of plastic stumps, a ball and 4-8 players and you’re ready to go!

Cricket 4 Change have run programmes on housing estates and with community groups all over London over the last 3 years.

The programme based in Bury aims to reduce anti social behavior and develop a greater amount of community cohesion in the Bury East area.
