St Johnston Cricket Club grounds
St Johnston Cricket Club has applied for planning permission from Donegal County Council for the construction of a two-lane bowling and batting practice area at their club grounds.
Club Chairperson, James Fleming, has been named as the applicant on behalf of the club, which plays in the North West Senior League, in the Premier Section One after winning promotion last season, and the women's team also secured promotion into their top division. They are members of the North West Cricket Union.
Canning & Associates Architectural Services, writing on behalf of the club, stated: “This proposed area will have a side facing the cricket club that can be easily adapted to create a shelter for spectators.
