Green Grass Of Home
No comments Irvine
From March to late September our cricket members, 13 years + to the adults prepare our cricket wickets for our games by scarifying, spiking, rolling, grass cutting as well as thatch and weed removal. As the season goes on we need to regrow, repair, reseed, fertilise and cultivate these cricket wickets, using our cricket covers for heat, germination and rain protection. This allows us to recycle, reuse the current wickets and cricket square as our ongoing Green Initiative.

Irvine Rangers Supporters Club
No comments Irvine
The supporters club was founded in 2016 shortly after we formed the Community Social Club within the club to put something back into the community, such as Christmas dinners for pensioners and Christmas parties for children. As in these times of austerity it's hard for most people. The club itself used to pay for it but as stated it's feeling the effects of austerity.
