Lancashire League Cricket

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

You can see the house I grew up in the background of the film.

The ones on top of the grass banking behind the clubhouse?

[RMutt]

The ones on top of the grass banking behind the clubhouse?

No, although when I lived there I can remember some of the people who lived in those houses. I lived further up Grange Road. There was an air raid shelter in the field behind our house that you can also see in the film.

I’ve mates who play and captain teams in this league. They are always coy about it they get paid or not. Surely now with the gates and funding teams get that players wouldn’t give up a full weekend to play cricket for free. I know at semi pro football teams first Hand that ways around this are ‘petrol money’

[KevWebstersBomber]

Burnley have won. Not sure on scores though.

[Blue Skies]

Trust me FCBurnley CPCC took a car of supporters who have relayed the news. There were also two people who used their free bus passes from the Culvert.

Which teams do they play for ?

[blatherwickstattoos]

Haha that would be possibly dropping their club in the sh@t.

[FCBurnley]

That’s why I asked lol. Hoped he would Lowerhouse !!!

[Buxtonclaret]

Brilliant footage - Lowerhouse fans should watch that if they want to see a proper crowd!

Fair few there, eh.
The 10k mentioned was, apparently, a very conservative estimate, according to my Dad & uncle Neil .

[Hopey]

Burnley won. Result on LL website.

[FCBurnley]

Very good win by Burnley We were 120/7 and finished at 180+/9 Then Tod were 107/2 and 140+all out Great effort to turn it around Think if we can win at Clitheroe tomorrow we should be ok.

[dsr]

Good win for the mighty Colne v Accrington, and a great finish. Four to win, 9 wickets down, next-to last over, and Matt Walker on 46 not out hit a six to clinch the win and his 50.

[FCBurnley]

Could be a bad day for Burnley. Game abandoned at Clitheroe do only 5 points. Darwen batting at Littleboro 111/4 off 25. Assume it’s reduced overs game. Be a pity if the weather decides the title. House also abandoned

It’s the only match in the first division that hasn’t been abandoned. Darwen are now 146/6 off 29 overs.

Yes I’m guessing it will be reduced overs but if they get 12 points I think they will lead Burnley by 4 so either way we will need to win our last two

[FCBurnley]

Darwen got 154/7 off 30. ( 30 over game )

[Mondsley]

Not quite Tony. Church have beaten Rochdale so the Boro need something from this game. At 31/3 and Kieran Powell back in the shed I was optimistic. But Bowden and the opener put 70 odd on for the 4th wicket. 155 off 30 will take some getting.

Play Cricket unfortunately showing no play in the Church v Rochdale game. I suspect Darwen will probably win this one.

[FCBurnley]

Boro 19/3 off 7

Play Cricket has been all over the place this weekend. And with Littleborough 15/2 after 6 overs I suspect you may be correct.

[ClaretTony]

Play Cricket has been all over the place this weekend.

Yesterday’s Tod v Burnley game still in the first innings.

[Mondsley]

Boro 19/3 off 7

Deputy Pro out. Another one who should be embarrassed to collect his match fee

[FCBurnley]

Rain 21/3 off 7.5 overs. Long May it continue lol

[FCBurnley]

Darwen game abandoned. So Burnley still lead by 3 points with 2 games remaining. Lowerhouse trail in third place which is the highest they can finish.

[GetIntoEm]

Lowerhouse day tomorrow in the T20

[Dressinggown]

I suspect that the weather may play a part in the T20 Finals day at Clitheroe.

Lowerhouse are up 1st against Crompton at 10:00am. Showers are forecast to continue overnight and tomorrow morning.

Home side, Clitheroe, then take on Ramsbottom.

UTH.

[Burnley1989]

Complete lottery tomorrow, which is why I've never been a big fan of T20. I'll still head over, hopefully there's a fair day's play

[Dressinggown]

I agree. Any of the four sides could win tomorrow. Batters have to play positive shots / slog at every delivery.

Whilst entertaining, it's not quite cricket.

Getting up for a 10:00am start on a Bank Holiday Monday will prove difficult for a few, including myself !

Hopefully weather holds up should be a good day if it does, Jamal at the top of Cromptons order has scored a hatful again keep him quiet should be an easy win for Lowerhouse in that one

[dandeclaret]

Day postponed… matches to be played on Saturday instead.

[Dressinggown]

T20 Finals day at Clitheroe abandoned.

Will be replayed next Saturday which means that a good few House supporters will miss the Crompton game as we'll be on the Turf.

[Cooclaret]

It’s the only match in the first division that hasn’t been abandoned. Darwen are now 146/6 off 29 overs.

I’ve played at Darwen, they like a soggy wicket.

[GetIntoEm]

What a joke. Was just waiting for the bus to clitheroe when got the news.

Weather must be considerably worse over there

[Somethingfishy]

Certainly a very strange decision with only the odd shower forecast. Perhaps yesterdays rain has affected the ground too much because otherwise it's baffling.

[Andreshotboots]

Strange decision as I've been over that way this morning and not raining at all. Maybe they've got half an eye on the supposed heatwave that's on the way, and the fact they'll probably have a bumper clubhouse watching the football who can't get tickets for the game..

[GetIntoEm]

Possibly. I'd have thought the other way, certainly we can't go now cos of the match.

This is Clitheroe we are talking about. Very likely the reason. Most expensive clubhouse in the league too.

[Dressinggown]

I was up at bloody 7:00am this morning. Not seen that time of day for ages. I'd even had a wash and put clean clothes on for the occasion.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I’m sure Lancashire Police are thrilled.

[GetIntoEm]

Doesn't make sense to me, but can't do anything. Waste of a day now.

[helmclaret]

Players get time and half on a Bank Holiday so makes sense to move it.

[Burnley1989]

I'm in clitheroe, can't comment on the pitch but a real shame.

It will likely be dead next Saturday now, could be interesting if Lowerhouse made the final and folk headed over after the Burnley/******* game to watch

Not a bad idea actually, might do that.

[Longsidelenny1882]

Turf might be empty next Saturday the police were expecting at least 12 thousand pro house fans for finals day today upthecolne

[Dressinggown]

M2 Bus from Stand 4 at 32 & 2 minutes past the hour from the bus station.

You're still not funny but keep trying

Only 12,000? Poor turnout that.

[Burnley1989]

Started raining over here now tbf

It's as funny as the tiresome yawn inducing references to 'Car Park Cricket Club'.
