Junior Cricket Club secretary Julie Prosper said that with the addition of the yet to be installed watering system, the new fencing and drainage works, the new toilet block and now the new pitch, Napier Oval was a superb venue for Blayney cricket.
"This new pitch will be wider than the present one as it currently doesn't comply because it's not wide enough," she said.
