SELF-HELP has seen a cricket club celebrate the opening of a new pavilion after a long-running appeal.

Members of Scruton Cricket Club, near Northallerton, raised £30,000 towards the building, paying for a builder to do the bricklaying and put the roof on.

And the pavilion was officially opened at a gala match which saw the club's juniors take on an all-star team led by ex-Yorkshire bowler Arthur Robinson
