Beamish settles land clash with cricket club

THE future of cricket at one of the most historic and spectacular venues in the country was secured yesterday when an ongoing row between Cork County Cricket Club and Beamish & Crawford was settled amicably.

Agreement was reached between the two parties in relation to the ownership of the lands and buildings at the Mardyke in Cork — known as the Richard Beamish Grounds — which has been occupied by the club since its foundation in 1874.

A dispute had arisen as to the ownership and rights of the premises.
