A Dorset cricket club is adding nets around its ground to try to stop balls flying over the boundary.

Play was suspended at Colehill club near Wimborne earlier this year due to concerns over public safety.

The adult team were facing a total ban.

But a crowdfunding page raised thousands of pounds to pay for the nets.

The club says they'll be a grand unveiling at a match on 5th May.
