North Down Cricket Club said it had been an important part of Comber since 1857 "with deep roots, proud traditions, and a strong sense of identity". It added: "Cricket is a global game made up of many faiths and cultures, and that is reflected here at the green. What unites us is the game. "The sport summer camp was created to give young people from different backgrounds a chance to enjoy cricket, try something new, and simply have fun. "The plan was to involve 10 different local sports and community groups - including organisations supporting ethnic minority communities - with the aim of building friendships through shared activity. "A small group of children from a GAA club was just one part of that broader mix." The cricket club said as "reaction to the event grew, we felt the spirit of the camp was at risk of being lost". " With regret - and out of respect for all involved - we chose not to proceed," its statement added.
