Non-Turf Cricket Practice Facility

Following the successful construction of a non-turf facility at nearby St. Mary Bourne CC, Fieldform were contacted by Overton Cricket Club to help with the design and construction of a new, two lane practice facility.

To comply with planning permission granted by Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council the new nets have been built on land on the edge of Overton Recreation Ground maximising space that was previously used for storage.

Design features of the new practice facility include:

• FFD dynamic sub base that has the ability to change playing characteristics depending on the prevailing weather
• Fully carpeted playing surface
• Full length shock pads
• 4m high galvanised steelwork
• FField Tunnel netting for each lane
• Concrete edges
• Stand alone ball stop net behind the bowling end

Whilst on site we were approached by the Club to remove their existing two lane practice facility and reinstate the area back to grass.

NEW

Following the successful completion of the new practice facility in 2023 we were instructed by the Club in 2024 to refurbish an existing non-turf cricket wicket at Berrydown Recreation Ground on the outskirts of Overton and to construct a new non-turf match play wicket at The Recreation Centre.

We are proud to have developed an ongoing working relationship with the Club created on the back of offering a local and reliable service.
