'Mindless' vandals barged their way into Hyde Cricket Club, tore up netting and damaged new equipment, according to the club's secretary. The Hyde Cricket and Squash Club, on Werneth Low Road, had its entrance doors smashed through sometime overnight, on Saturday (July 2).
Opening up early on Sunday morning, (July 3), Club Secretary John Buckley said he was left 'shocked' by the scenes he was greeted with. An indoor cricket practise area was main area which was targeted, with large areas of netting torn through and equipment left strewn across the floor.
The incident has now been reported to the police. John said that the club, which is kept running by the help of volunteers, plans to install more cameras and security after it fell victim to the crime.
