NUTS have been banned from Keighley Cricket Club.

The move follows an incident in which peanuts were taken into the changing rooms, endangering a player's life.

Batsman Martin Walker has a severe allergy to any nut, and a junior player also suffers with the same condition.

The club has announced the ban, plus an end to any food and drink in the changing rooms, from next season.

In a posting on the club's website, secretary Jo Walker said: "It has come to the attention of the committee, there was an incident where peanuts were brought into the changing rooms.

"Many of the team players are aware Martin Walker has a severe allergy to peanuts and any other nuts.

"It was only down to a few quick thinking players that thankfully a worse incident did not happen.

"Due to this, it has been proposed and agreed that from the beginning of the 2018 season, peanuts or any other nuts will no longer be sold at KCC or allowed to be brought into the facilities.

"Furthermore, food and drink will not be able to be brought into the changing room facilities – there is plenty of seating within the bar area and upstairs facilities."
