Owzat for Penwortham Cricket

Penwortham Priory Academy was proud to host its first ever Palace Shield cricket match on Saturday 

This inaugural game saw Penwortham Cricket Club 4th XI draw a thrilling match with Ingol with Freckleton Cricket Club 2nd XI.  Penwortham Priory Academy is now the new home for Penwortham Cricket Club 4th XI and 5th XI and will be used every Saturday by the club for the rest of the season. 

Our new cricket venue was made possible thanks to a grant of £9445 from South Ribble Borough Council's Leisure Local Community Fund which covered the cost of a new AstroTurf wicket, and a further contribution from Penwortham Priory Academy totalling £2760 which funded the sight screens. In addition to its use by the community, the pitch will also be available for the school's matches and to host primary school cricket events throughout the summer.
