You seem to be a little obsessed with Lowerhouse and when referring to the team please use "The House"

UTH.

Great photos but makes me feel old looking at the spectators, players kit and ground facilities. Was 1969 so long ago!?

Was that the farce match when Sparks pressured the umpires into calling it off?

I was there. Lowerhouse couldn’t wait to get back on but the rain had changed things and all the nastiness had gone from the wicket. So Sparks started his slipping and sliding routine. Bernard Lavin was batting by this point and just got on with things but Sparks kept telling the umpires it was impossible to bowl.

I was there as well. Probably with CT and Shappie etc. Amazingly I dont remember the game but it sounds like the usual Lowerhouse farce. Was Denis Pollard the same one who went on to play for Redrose ?

Same Dennis Pollard yes. Used to travel on Boundary Clarets to all the away games around a decade or so ago as did Mick Swift.

Fantastic pics Hopey, couple of years before I started watching Lancashire League cricket but amazing to see the dress code of the spectators, big coats in June!

We were always well dressed then and I think I’ve spotted someone I knew on one of them.

Decent bowler and a nice guy was Dennis. Always thought he played for Padiham.

He did play for Padiham at one point. Not seen him at the football in a while.
