Sports PLC, one of the UK and Europe's leading retailers, is proud to have purchased Woodworm.

After running into financial difficulties at the end of 2008 and being forced into adminstration, Woodworm were saved from extinction by Sports PLC.

As a major online force, Sports PLC operates a host of websites, including www.thesportshq.com, www.camping.co.uk and www.golfballs.co.uk, as well as partnering with top online shopping destinations such as eBay and Amazon.

Over the years, we have developed robust, secure and easy to use systems that mean you can buy with absolute confidence. Every product we sell is backed with a 12 month warranty against faulty parts or craftsmanship, and with a solid, reliable and debt-free business structure operating in the UK, Europe and the USA, you can be sure we'll be around to honour it.

Without doubt, Woodworm is one of cricket's most popular brands, and we are truly excited to have the opportunity to re-establish it at the forefront of the international game where it quite rightly belongs.

The Worm has returned.
