Weed killer damage to Barkby cricket pitch was 'vandalism'
A village cricket club is hoping to raise 拢10,000 to fix its pitch after a section of the grass was destroyed with weed killer.
The unusual damage to the ground belonging to Barkby United Cricket Club in Leicestershire was thought to have happened between 12 and 25 June.
Club chairman David Davies said he believed it was deliberate vandalism.
Leicestershire Police said officers were making enquiries after it received a report of criminal damage.
Mr Davies has been telling Ady Dayman that they first realised something was wrong with the ground in Beeby Road when a groundsman raised concerns about the condition of the square.
