A new-look fully refurbished Vine Cricket Ground in Sevenoaks will reopen at the end of this month - Covid regulations permitting.
The outfield had deteriorated badly last year - partly as a result of increased visits by the public taking exercise during lockdown.

The field, which covers 1.4 hectares, is one of the oldest in the country.
The public's use of disposable BBQs, riding of bikes, use of football studs and dropping of beer bottle tops which became embedded in the grass had collectively resulted in the outfield being classified as no longer suitable for premier league cricket matches.
