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!

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

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

Just been discussing the pro, sounds a top player.
Fingers crossed!

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

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.

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.

Sounds like Clitheroe could have done with Marcus Sharp keeping it tight.
Decent total to chase down.
