Worsley Cup Finsl ( Sunday )

[MACCA]

Hope all who go have a cracking day out and get to watch some good cricket.
Most of all I'm sure we all agree we want the cup brought back here.

Up the House!

[Burnley1989]

Need this rain to disappear now.

A little nervous about today, they’re a solid side are Clitheroe, Lowerhouse slightly more experienced in finals so hopefully that plays a part.

Should be a great day

[jrgbfc]

Who have Lowerhouse got as sub pro?

[Local cricketer]

Good luck to all. I can only echo the sentiments of all above and hope that the weather holds fine. Just remember though it’s the taking part that counts

[Bordeauxclaret]

Who have Lowerhouse got as sub pro?

Haasbroek?

Haasbroek?

Naughty! I recall some Worsley cup finals Burnley basically fielding half a team of professionals.

Just been discussing the pro, sounds a top player.

Fingers crossed!

All very cloak and dagger for a game of amateur cricket

Freddie Flintoffs fish and chip van has just parked up outside the ground.
Caterer or today's pro?

I was expecting a big name with the big build up

[Somethingfishy]

45 mins to the start and its looking like a Lowerhouse takeover. Clitheroe fans still in the pub?

Garden centre

[Somethingfishy]

Clitheroe win the toss and elect to bowl. Suits us. Not a good chasing team.

It's become a common term now of teams winning the toss and electing to bowl, back in the day they used to invite the opposition to bat first.


Doesn't look as though there is any rain forecast - I just hope it's a really good day for everyone involved.

[Local cricketer]

I’ve heard Kurt Robinson is guest of honour and will be presenting the trophy to the winning captain

[Somethingfishy]

Off for rain with House 37/1 from 10. Joe Martin the man out.

[Somethingfishy]

Play restarting

[Somethingfishy]

[FCBurnley]

Does anybody know the origin of the name Lowerhouse ?

Shame Lowerhouse weren’t at home. It hasn’t rained.

Seems a bit off a farce does this. The game will be finishing in the dark if they get it done tonight. Call it off and Play it again next week

[Somethingfishy]

[Bordeauxclaret]

Commentary on the live feed could be interesting later.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Good finish from one of the South Africans.

[Somethingfishy]

254/6 An absolutely remarkable display of batting from Pretorious. 79 no. I'd love to see how many balls it was from. Not many that's for sure.

[ClaretTony]

Where’s Parry?

[Somethingfishy]

Where’s Parry?

Coaching the ladies team. Not sure if its Thunder or the Originals ladies.

[Quickenthetempo]

Sounds like Clitheroe could have done with Marcus Sharp keeping it tight.

Decent total to chase down.
