They moved into their Orlham Lane home last season.

There will be a 30-over challenge match between a Ledbury Select XI and Herefordshire Select XI at 2pm with the official opening ceremony at tea time.

A barbecue, bar, teas and cakes and prize raffle will also run on the day.

All visitors are welcome.

Brandon Caffull, Charles Tager and Dan Gale took wickets in their hosts' 225-4 from 45 overs.

Second-from-bottom Ledbury responded by hanging on with 158-9 as Paddy Merryman (43), Richard Orders (38) and extras (37) were the main contributors.

Steve Large (10 not out) and last man Paul Allen (0no) ensured the draw.

Sixth-placed Ledbury seconds claimed 23 points from a winning draw at home to Builth Wells seconds in Division Three.

Skipper Chris Ritchie starred with 90 for the home side, smashing 12 fours and two sixes.

Wells conceded 34 extras while Steve Burgess next top scored with 19 in their 205-7 from 45 overs.

The visitors managed to hold on for the draw on 167-9 despite 3-38 for Maurice Embrey.
