The turf wicket and oval is a top quality sports field.I have appreciated the oval as being one of the best I have played on in the district.Our children and future generations will be disadvantaged if this wonderful facility is destroyed. Cricketers need "Turf wickets" to develop 1st class skills.

I grew up playing cricket at Kenthurst on the turf wicket. It is a crucial development asset and Kenthurst cricket ground is known around the world as a fantastic place to play cricket. Loss of the turf wicket would seriously adversely affect this reputation.

The parks/ovals are council owned and part funded by rate payers. These are also community facilities and I don't believe individual sporting teams shouldn't be responsible for the whole costs of their upkeep.

If Australia is to retain its pre-eminence in its favourite sport it is essential that young cricketers in particular are able to obtain access to TURF wickets and play real cricket from an early age. District Cricket associations allow this to occur, and should be supported in their efforts

As a former player with the Kenthurst Cricket Club I strongly support the maintenance of the turf wicket at Kenthurst No 1 ground. Council's decision to pass on all costs for the wicket's maintenance is short-sighted and shows no regard for the value of having an A grade quality cricket oval in the Kenthurst district.

Considering the huge amount of money collected by Councils, I cant understand why community cultural and recreational facilities are being starved of finance. First the Hills Centre and now turf pitches. Obviously bad management. It is time the management of all Councils got their act together to provide the services that the community deserves.

Community turf wickets are essential if we are to maintain our cricket heritage. Turf wickets have been provided for senior competition for as long as I can remember. Surely, if they could be afforded in the 1950's we should still be able to afford them now because of our comparative higher degree of affluence.

Councils have a responsibility to their constituents to provide adequate sporting facilities at reasonable cost. Councils should understand that they in providing such facilities, are the custodians of the nations health, to both its youth and seniors alike.
Council rates are levied to cover such costs, whether the Council believes they are not adequate enough. The cost should therefore not be the issue that manages brining those facilities to the public.

I play with CBC Golden Oldies and to travel to Kenthurst to play with outstanding grounds and amenities is such a pleasure.
Dont let the ground be like almost all in Wagga that have no amenities whatsover (dressing sheds and toilites).
Kenthurst Club and all that play on the wicket are immensley proud to participate.
So please continue on with the turf and make a resolution suitable and fair to all parties for the sake of cricketers in general.

I was a member of Kenthurst Cricket Club from 1983 till 2004. I served on the committee and was a member of the Team that organised their Centenary. Both my sons played for the Club and I was a Grade Captain for many years. I also coached Juniors for 3 Years. We all played in their magnificent Winter Cricket Competition and I introduced a number of new players to the Club. KCC has a very pfrfoud record of encouraging youth in the Hills District. It would be a tragedy to remove the Turf wicket from a magnificent ground.

Cricket is a traditional game and deserves to be played on grounds such as this i find it bizare that you would contemplate making this an astro turf ground, it would rob generations of cricketers coming through of the experience of playing on such a field.
