Michael Vaughan Opens The Batting For AMB Sports

England Test Cricket Captain Michael Vaughan launched the commencement of the npower Urban Cricket facility to be constructed by AMB Sports in Abbeyfield Park, Burngreave, Sheffield.

The facility is one of the five purpose-built cricket units, which will be constructed across the country as part of the Urban Cricket initiative.

England Test Captain Michael Vaughan said:

”It’s great to see how many grassroots schemes like npower Urban Cricket are making a real difference to the local community. Having been brought up in Sheffield I know how popular cricket is in this area and I know local kids will love having a safe, purpose built space in which they can play cricket and practice their skills – you never know it might help produce the next Michael Vaughan!”

Additional facilities are planned for Cardiff, Birmingham and Newcastle.

Lee Barnes, AMB Sports Managing Director, wished Michael good luck in the forthcoming Test Series in New Zealand.
