Historic Glasgow cricket club running for 145 years face eviction in 'massive loss' to community

A popular cricket club who are entering their 145th year serving the community have been hit with a devastating notice and told to leave their Shawholm grounds by the end of next month.

Poloc Cricket Club have held the lease, within Pollok Estate, for nearly 143 years but have been struck with a painful blow as their factors, Pollok and Corrour Ltd, terminate the lease and tenancy.

The club, which runs cricket sessions for juniors up to seniors, has been given until the end of April to pack their kit and vacate the premises in what's been described as a "massive loss" to the community.
