The planning decision means that both Orrell RUFC and Winstanley Park Cricket Club will now have a permanent home and an opportunity to boost both our thriving junior sections.

The new venture will be known as Orrell and Winstanley Community Sports Club.
Once up and running, the facility will be available to other community groups, with a particular focus on providing a sporting outlet for children which will help create a more cohesive and sustainable community.

“Now the hard work begins” said Tony Havlin, Chairman of Orrell RUFC “but we are up for the challenge of raising the funds needed to build our new home and provide facilities, albeit in the future, for not just the rugby and cricket clubs but the wider community as well”.

Tony Dillon, Chairman of Winstanley Park Cricket Club said “yes, it’s going to be hard but the end result will be fantastic for everyone concerned.”

We will be starting the ball rolling with our “Field of Dreams” Trust Fund; asking supporters and members of the Club to become a Community Fund member by donating to the Trust Fund. Any donation - big or small, will mean they will become part of the fabric of this new and exciting community hub.

More details of our plans and fundraising challenges will follow shortly
