HOUSEBUILDER Taylor Wimpey will be sponsoring Winnington Park Cricket Club for the 2016 season, in celebration of the club’s 125th anniversary.

The club, which is based at Winnington Park Recreation Club, has new kits for its under-9s team thanks to a £500 donation from the company.

Dave Barnes, chairman of Winnington Park Cricket Club, said: “This is a big year for us and as well as the cricket, there will be a number of events to celebrate our 125 years.

“We’re therefore thrilled to have such smart new kits for our under-9s team.”

Chloe Dunn, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey Manchester, said: “Our Winnington Village development is based close to the cricket club, so when we heard of the opportunity to support, we jumped at the chance to help out.”

Dave added: “There’s a strong community in Northwich, so it’s great to have the support of local businesses as well as residents.

“Donations like this help us to continue as a club, so we are very grateful to Taylor Wimpey for this help, and hope to work with the company again in the not-too-distant future.”
