PRESTWICH Cricket, Tennis and Bowling Club has hit the money jackpot - thanks to the National Lottery.
The organisation has received a grant of £76,250 in the latest round of awards announced from the Lottery Sports Fund.
The grant will go towards costs of £111,250 for the upgrading and floodlighting of two tennis courts and the installation of an all-weather cricket pitch.
The project will enable tennis and cricket coaching to continue all year round, increasing opportunities for members.
Plans to offer coaching for schools during the day, using professional coaches, are also in the pipeline.
It is one of six projects across the North West which has received funds, totalling almost £800,000.
