LASHINGS cricket club chief David Folb is in talks with film industry executives about taking the story of the country’s best-known village team to the silver screen.

Mr Folb said he was thrilled at the prospect of Lashings and Maidstone featuring in the story of how the country's best-known village cricket side was born.

He said: “I'm not letting my head be turned by all the talk of big name actors and directors but it's exciting all the same.

“Just think what the Richard Curtis movie of Notting Hill did for that part of London and what such a film could do for Maidstone."

Lashings CC has grown rapidly since Mr Folb's first celebrity side turned out in 1994.
