Colehill Cricket Club in Dorset could be forced to fold after complaints from a group of neighbours meant they were no longer permitted to play matches at their home ground.
The club was founded more than 100 years ago in the 1920s after it was gifted the ground, which pre-dates much of the housing which now surrounds it. In the 1970s, Colehill Sports and Social Club was formed to take care of the ground, which by then was also home to other sports.
However, after complaints were raised by some neighbours about flying balls landing in their gardens and subsequent plans to erect protective netting were abandoned, the social club attempted to ban sixes being hit from one side of the ground.
