Lowerhouse v Burnley Worsley Cup Final

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:03 am

The big day in local cricket is finally here and a chance to claim the local bragging rights. Lowerhouse will start as clear favourites against Burnley at what is sure to be a huge attendance at the West End. Gate could possibly be higher than the Clarets v Espanyol friendly?
Either way, looking forward to the game. Come on Burnley, stuff 'em!

Burnley hopefully back to full strength after a disappointing defeat to Ramsbottom with the returning Holt, Brown, Pickup and Hayman.

I’ll be down there for the first over.
Is there plenty of seating or will it be standing for most people?

Bus route for Lowerhouse from the bus station ?

Would have thought Harle Syke/Rosegrove No. 5

Looks like they leave bus station 17 mins past the hour from stand 8.

Will definitely be standing room only unless you get there by 11.30am (12.30 start remember).

Could you bowl Hayman from the off we need a good start.If he plays will this be the first game of the season for Brown.

UTH

Glad you think Cole Hayman will be a source of easy runs for you. Might just come back to bite you on the arse that one.
And no, not Brown's first game.

Seems a lot of effort just to go for one over

Hasnt been clear Favourites in a Lowerhouse Burnley fixture since the seventies. And today is no different. Both sides are packed with quality cricketers and match winners. Promises to be a cracker.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 8:14 am

Heading down early to claim my usual spot,as it will be heaving. Someone mentioned it could be the biggest ever crowd up there, and the last one was 3k+.
The weather looks good all day, so should be a cracker.

Up the House!

Have a great day everyone that's going and hopefully it all runs smoothly for the hosts. It's a massive event for volunteers to put on, so don't be afraid to buy them a pint after.
I'm off to watch Padiham in their cup final at Read in a equally big game for us. Padiham are up against it though with Settle being a very good side and walloping us yesterday.
It's a funny old game though cricket, especially in cup finals.

Had it not clashed with the football I'd have been there - just hope it is a really good day for both clubs, that there's a big crowd and that the best team win which for me of course will be Burnley.

My first Worsley Cup Final was in 1964 when Rishton beat Burnley at Turf Moor. The attendance that day was over 10,000. You just can't imagine that at a Lancs League ground now. It should be a big, big crowd today though, Lowerhouse have worked extremely hard from the minute they knew they were hosting the game.

Really hope everyone enjoys the day.

15 minutes to start, ground filling up quickly. Burnley win the toss and will bat.

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 12:47 pm

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 12:56 pm

Burnley need to bat their 50 overs to have any chance at all. Clarets losing to Espanyol as well.

Burnley Reserves losing 2-0 at the moment to Espanyol

Never forget the old rule though, you don't know what a good score is until both teams have batted !!

118/8 off 41 Overs...

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:19 pm

I guess it gives some of our second and third string players a run out.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:21 pm

150 might give Burnley something to bowl at but that doesnt sound likely at all

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:27 pm

Tail slightly wagging the dog, 137 for 8

Couple of conflicting scores 128 or 137 ? Thanks

Burnley finish on 169 for 9. House surely favourites from here.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:47 pm

Thats a good effort from 86/6. Burnley need 2 or 3 early wickets but House are big favs.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:50 pm

Late rally, make a it a contest.
Very poor from Burnley early doors, cheap wickets.

All important first 10-15 overs, where the game will be decided IMO

Longside4evr · Post by **Longside4evr** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:54 pm

Its been enough before but against the quality of House you can only think other wise
But you never know in cricket

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 4:14 pm

Good start for Burnley. House 0 for 1 off the first ball.
