It's back this weekend!

Charity game at the House on Good Friday, we've got 2 bands on and the footy for anyone interested. (more info here).
Burnley vs Lowerhouse on Saturday in the Ron Singleton Trophy (our version of the Charity Shield)
Lowerhouse vs Darwen and Burnley vs Ramsbottom in the league Sunday.

Unchanged team for Lowerhouse in the Cup and League game.

Who are the favs to win the league this year. Assuming there will be some new pros and ex pros playing as amateurs.

For me, its likely Burnley again who are strong right across the board, followed by Darwen.

Todmorden/Lowerhouse will be up there and should challenge if they keep their best players fit.

As for the Cup there's a good 6-8 teams that could put a good cup run together

T20 - I've no idea tbh

Saw earlier that Jack Edgar has signed for Tod from Padiham. Could be dark horses this time.

Inevitably, the weather is taking a turn for the worse in time for the weekend.

Does anyone know if dogs are allowed up at Lowerhouse CC? Hoping to attend the charity match on Friday.

Yes absolutely, just clean up after it. And if taking it inside make sure it's well behaved

No dogs on the pitch

Dogs are welcome at all cricket clubs. Always a few walking around the boundaries.

I can't see Lowerhouse being any different.

100% allowed. We even got dog bins installed a few weeks ago.

Lowerhouse smashed em for 300. Easy work

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Apr 19, 2025 4:56 pm

Tom Walker having a fantastic start to the season. 109no in the House innings and he's had both Burnley openers caught behind already in the Burnley reply

Burnley are only concerned with the proper stuff not a pre season friendly

Is it taken seriously? Is there a few watching?

I thought about going down to watch but didn't want to risk watching an half arsed game.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Apr 19, 2025 6:03 pm

No idea. Even I've not bothered going

Trying to watch it on a stream where I think they are using dialup it's that bad.
At the very least it should be used to get your eye in. Only one team has managed that by the looks of it.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sat Apr 19, 2025 6:11 pm

Padiham entered the National K.O comp to use as a decent friendly last week.

The batsman got their eye in but not quite as much as the opposition sadly.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Apr 19, 2025 6:15 pm

5 victims for Joe Martin.
100 for Tom Walker, 50s for Jonny Whitehead and Pro.

9 down currently.

Their stream is awful.

Up The House.

Doubt House would ever entertain doing that. There are plenty that see the Lancs KO as an extra pain nevermind the national.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Apr 19, 2025 6:19 pm

House win by 168 runs

All the games are played on Sunday like the Lancs ko so it would be hard.

Always good to play against new clubs though.

Lowerhouse win the Ron Singleton Trophy!

After posting 300/4, the lads bowled local rivals Burnley out for 132!
Tom Walker smashed 109, Pro Dan 84 & Jonny 57.
Joe Martin took 5 victims with the gloves, while Tom & Paddy Martin grabbed 3 wickets each.

Top effort, lads! #UTH

Burnley didn't turn up, on the pitch or off it.

All lowerhouse fans.

It's sad that more don't show an interest at Burnley CC

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 19, 2025 6:36 pm

I'm thrown completely. Because yesterday felt like a Saturday, I'd assumed the Trophy game was yesterday and that today was Sunday so I've been looking for score updates for the first league games.

Utter b*llocks! I post more or less from the start of the game at nearly every game I go to (I know that is alien to Burnley CC fans..you know...going to games

)...so unless I am blessed with being able to foresee the future (I'm not unfortunately) I post whether we win or lose and I think there are posters on here will vouch for that over the last few years.

Congratulations to Lowerhouse on their trophy win today in a match they dominated after a couple of early losses.
However, they were helped considerably by an abject bowling performance from a wayward Burnley attack conceding 300 runs, something that doesn't happen very often, particularly at home.

That was my biggest take from the game too. Very surprised we got on top of the Burnley attack like that. The best bowling attack by far in the league last season in its ability to limit teams and dig the team out of holes on occasions. House are capable of posting scores like that but even so to do it at Burnley was a surprise. I'm sure they will settle down into a groove though. Taking nothing for granted.

The real stuff starts today.

House v Darwen.

Cracking day at the House:

Home side currently 99-2.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 2:22 pm

Just looking at the scores and this one stood out.

Colne v Greenmount

Greenmount 206/1 from 24 overs. Snyman is 131* from 38 balls.

Burnley are 81/2 from 28 overs at Ramsbottom.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 2:22 pm

Burnley 81/2 at Rammy (28 overs) recovering after a poor start but slow scoring
No reports yet from House although I’m hearing that Walker went for 1 but that’s probably just fake news

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 2:28 pm

House are 132/5

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 2:34 pm

House have chucked their wickets away today. Excellent catch at slip to dismiss Whitehead to be fair. Pro missed a slog straight in the air. Ben charged down the wicket and wafted at bouncing ball. Henri Cottam went for a silly run and was run out. Early season errors.
138/5

168/6 with 10 to go. Gansler caught behind trying a reverse sweep.
