'Factory' work for children at Lord's

Date released: 15 June 2007

Cricket Factory is coming back to Lord's for the first four days of the England v India Test match - Thursday 19th July - Sunday 21st. Under 18s can join the fun on the Nursery Ground.

The MCC Spirit of Cricket Road Show was at 'The Home of Cricket' on Wednesday 13th June with the Cricket Factory and their 'big yellow rig' on hand for the 1,000 kids invited to enjoy the Middlesex v Sussex Friends Provident Trophy match at Lord's.

Thanks to the Cricket Factory and the MCC Indoor School, hundreds of children were able to take advantage of some top-class coaching - and have a lot of fun too:

MCC Indoor School's coaches offered advice, tips and encouragement

A good time was had by all...
...there was even time for autographs
