Mount Cricket Club in West Yorkshire have a great tradition for community cricket and a longstanding association around the area. With a lack of resources affecting the club and to help them create a higher standard of play and better utilisation of their facilities, they applied to Kirklees council for an artificial cricket wicket to be installed at their ground.

Dura-Sport working with Playrite surfaces was given the task to construct a new non-turf cricket pitch. The pitch was built on the edge of the square, measured 30.00m x 2.74m and incorporated the ECB approved DSi-Pro cricket system, which incorporates Playrite’s Wilton woven cricket surface and is marked out as per rules of the game.

The main requirement for any cricket surface is a non- directional pile allowing the game to be played with no additional infill. The most proven synthetic cricket surface that is durable, hard wearing and realistic is a Playrite woven surface that provides a consistent and professional standard of play.

Mount Cricket Club recently featured on Sky Sport's 'Club Life' which follows the progress of a selection of local cricket clubs throughout the season. The new 30 metre strip appears throughout the TV interview and is praised by leading batsman Anees Lawat.
