One of Nottinghamshire’s oldest cricket clubs has launched a crowdfunding campaign after its pitch roller ran out of steam - halfway though the season.
The 30-year-old motorised roller at Southwell Cricket Club - which is needed to roll the pitch before every game - has broken down two months before the end of the Summer.
And the club has had to hire a roller to complete the dozens of fixtures its nine teams still have to play by the end of August.
