Sunday looks like its a washout already.

A great day to walk from Lowerhouse CC to Todmorden CC for charity.

Hopey

Since 10 points for a win came in, in 1998, yes.

Accrington were previous highest with us 2nd in 2013 with 55 points.

Match reports brought to you this week in conjunction with FCBurnleys armchair. Second Eleven The Second Eleven game at Rishton was abandoned after Rishton won the toss and reached 12/0 from 4.2 overs before the rain arrived. Despite the washout, Lowerhouse remain 34 points clear at the top of the t...

Clitheroe 68/4 in the 16th. Pro gone to a great catch by Keagan de Vries

Some player is Keags. One for the future for sure. Even better rugby player up Burnley Belvedere.

Hopey

24/1 from 8. Need 8.18 an over from here.

Hopey

7/1 off 3.1

Hopey

Hoping for a 3.50pm initial restart time, 26 over game At the House.

Hopey

Taking a look under the covers at the House

Hopey

Had two injuries this year which upset his batting rhythm. We just bowled sides out for fun though, which has helped.

Hopey

Doubt they’ll get back on. Winter is well and truly here.

Hopey

Lowerhouse take on Clitheroe tomorrow at home.

We’ve just announced Salpietro has signed again for 2026.

Hopey

Lowerhouse away at Haslingden on Sunday. The Seconds need to win at home to also secure their title.

Burnley at home to bottom of the table Middleton.

How did they afford to pay Viv Richards all those years ago?

Outsider investment.

I don’t know the full details I do remember Fulledge rec being mentioned. You would think the local council could find some land and approve planning permission. It would be interesting to hear Hopeys opinion as the income BCC receive from parking etc seems to upset some Lowerhouse supporters. Some...

Well done Lowerhouse on their sixth (I think?) title.

The trophy hasn’t left the town for years now.

Lowerhouse Second Eleven secured promotion to Division One in emphatic style with a ruthless display against Accrington. After winning the toss, the home side chose to bat first, but they were immediately under the pump as the Lowerhouse opening bowlers hit their stride from ball one. Oliver William...

Lowerhouse won the toss and chose to bat first on a sweltering afternoon at Liverpool Road. The wicket looked full of runs early on, but as the innings unfolded it became clear there was more in it for the bowlers than first thought. The ball was gripping and turning for the spinners, while those bo...

House win the league. Seconds promoted.

A snippet from LancashireLeague.com with a preview for the weekend. Premier Division leaders Lowerhouse will look to wrap up their first Lancashire League title since 2014 on Sunday when they entertain next to bottom club Rochdale.

The fact that Paddy has over 4000 league runs would indicate he does not lack CONSISTENCY.

Just passed 3000, but point is still valid.

Hopey

Yes we do but the batting order needs a rethink. In my opinion Paddy has more batting ability than at least 3 who are higher in the order than he is. If we are serious about winning, it needs to be addressed. We’ve lost 3 all season 🤣. It’s situational. He’s great at coming in and settling the inni...

No way Paddy should be number 10. He has the ability to bat far higher in the order.

Joe Martin batting 11 has a Lancashire League century. We bat all the way down.

Was editing on the fly as I'm away this week. Sorted. Thanks

The Second Eleven racked up another win, defeating Bacup at home. Bacup won the toss and elected to bat, posting 186 for 8 off their 40 overs. Keagan de Vries starred with the ball, taking 4 for 42 from his 10. In reply, House made light work of the total, reaching it 6 down in 31.3 overs. A superb ...

I’ll let you in on a little secret. I have a ghostwriter for my Junior Results post titles. Mr Stan Heaton.

Congratulations Hopey on your nomination for media hero in the Good for Cricket awards. Richly deserved and hopefully you go on to win it. You've done a hell of a lot with the website, social media and the podcast to put Lowerhouse out there and a lot of the growth and increased reach of the club i...

Yes, my statement was kind within our own power...

Lowerhouse are away at Ramsbottom on Sunday. (Should be streamed).
Burnley are at home to Norden.

House require 19 points to clinch the title.

Hopey

You really are a silly man aren't you? Have Burnley CC done you some psychology harm at sometime in the past? As for the attendance today, I would estimate at least 2000, Pity they weren't able to watch a proper contest. Burnley absolutely battered by Ramsbottom. The gate fee is split 3 ways, both ...

Lowerhouse broke their own record last year. It hasn’t been updated yet:

Padiham chasing 336 at Read vs Little Lever in their final. (40 overs)

For anyone interested, in the cup final Burnley are 130/7 off 43 after winning the toss and batting first.

I guess that’s part of the price one has to pay to live in Florida. I suspect you don’t have to travel very far to Liverpool Rd. Having said that I will certainly have watched more Burnley cricket matches than you will have watched House games ! It’s a 7 minute 30 second walk. I’ll have watched mor...

No because I have a life.

I didn’t mean sat in-front of a computer. I meant going to watch the team you supposedly support. Which you clearly haven’t in years.

Hopey

I get why you say it :D To be fair I thought Burnley batted ok and posted a decent score. Their bowling was average at best. Not sure what the crack is with Ocky. Took them a while to bowl him then he bowied reasonably OK. He was taken off for Bharat to bowl his last 2 then brought back on. Just od...
