The Ground
Page 2

Home matches are played at Dresselrigg, our home since the start of 1999 season. Dresselrigg is located in the Murieston district, in the southside of the town.          

The large flat ground, has yet to achieve its full potential, but already,boasts a 10 strip square and artificial strip, sightscreens and netting facilities. The pavilion itself is an interesting conglomoration of changing rooms and ‘clubroom/tearoom’ fashioned out of old porta-cabins and sticky back plastic.

The square itself is looking much better as every year goes on, mainly due to the hardworking groundman, Jim Wilson. The (notorious) wet Livingston weather also plays a major factor in the quality of the outfield and wicket, but verti-draining and tyning over the last few years has seen an improvement in the drainage.

Plans are in place to construct a permanent pavilion that the ground so richly deserves, and all things going to plan, then it should be in place sometime over the summer/autumn 2003. David Hopkins has done a tremendous job so far in progressing the plans to this stage and thanks go to him. It will be very strange to lose

the 'uniqueness' of the portacabins, but the lure of electricty, water, showers and a comfortable area for teas and aftermatch hospitality is very welcoming.

(NB as from August 2004, a new permanent pavilion is now in place.. see the story elsewhere on the site).
