“On Saturday 24 August the Olicanian Cricket Club clubhouse was destroyed by a fire. We’re home to three senior teams, five junior teams with hundreds of members who are devastated but working hard to try and rebuild. We also house a pre-school nursery which uses the clubhouse outside of the cricket season and has lost its premises.
As an important part of the community we are doing everything we can to get back up and running as soon as possible and we need as much help as we can as the entire club is run by volunteers who give up their own time to keep the club running.
Anything you can give to help will make such a huge difference.

You can contact the club directly by email at olicaniancc@gmail.com”
