Upgraded Triple Bay Practice Facility at Orsett and Thurrock!

Orsett and Thurrock Cricket Club has recently undergone significant facility upgrades thanks to Verde Cricket and the expert installation team at Cover Solutions. The club now boasts a state-of-the-art triple bay practice facility, featuring newly installed batting and bowling ends. By incorporating individual batting and bowling ends, the club can better manage maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of the playing surfaces. The facility includes both of Verde Cricket’s ECB-approved systems: the Test Match and the Premier System.

The Test Match system features an advanced AP10 shock pad that minimises surface wear from ball impacts, supported by a 10mm dust stone layer, making it one of the most sophisticated designs on the market. The Premier System builds upon this by adding an extra layer between the hard porous aggregate and the AP10 shock pad, ensuring consistent bounce for all age groups while enhancing spin and seam play. Both systems incorporate RBG tex layers, which help prevent contamination and improve durability.

Orsett and Thurrock Cricket Club was formed in 2016 through the merger of the two historic clubs and has since grown into one of the largest cricket clubs in Essex. The club is affiliated with the ECB through the Essex County Cricket Board and actively promotes the sport at both primary and secondary school levels, hosting competitions and training sessions. A standout feature of the club is its commitment to developing female cricket, a rapidly growing sport. This dedication has been recognised by the ECB, further establishing Orsett and Thurrock as a key player in the development of inclusive cricket opportunities in the region.

We hope Orsett and Thurrock C.C. enjoy their new practice facilities and have a successful season —we’re excited to see what’s next for the club!
