Walker got 1. Edged the spinner behind. Good bowl to be fair. Probably the only one out to a genuinely good ball

Burnley finished at 185/7 Slight recovery but probably not enough. House should have enough to beat Darwen

Darwen are obvious pre-season favourites for the League. Need the 'House bowlers to be at their best.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 6:40 pm

Dream start to the season for The House!
After winning the toss, we posted 231/8 from our 50 overs – Toxy Hussain leading the charge with a Lowerhouse best of 43, Charlie & Henri Cottam both hitting 33, and Pro Dan adding 27 in a great team effort (7 batters in double figures!).

In reply, Darwen never really settled – wickets fell steadily (shared across the board), despite their pro Keegan Peterson digging in for 61. They were eventually bowled out for 156 and The House took all 12 points on a perfect opening weekend!

Great win for Clitheroe 9 down when it looked like they would fall short.
A good century for ex Claret Alex Coleman for Hassy.

Looks like Rammy are struggling now.

Not max points but 10 nevertheless

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 7:37 pm

The score site is showing Burnley as having bowled Ramsbottom out but the scorecard shows two not out batsmen and only 10 points accredited.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 7:45 pm

Yes a 12 point win for Burnley - Ramsbottom lost their last wicket on the final ball.

Not spoilt my day son. Had a few San Miguel's in the sun and watched my team easily beat the other team that finished above us last season. Couldn't give a rats *ss what Burnley did

He’s best ignored to be honest - thinks it’s still the 60s.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 7:57 pm

Couldn’t understand why Burnley were shown as 10 points when Ramsbottom were shown all out when I looked
Thought it was 10 for win plus 2 for bowling opposition out
Which of course it is
That is why I made an incorrect post earlier
Must have been a great game to watch for the Neutral
With the advantages going one way and then the other

Clitheroe and Burnley both won and bowled out the opposition yet were only awarded 10 points. Something fishy going on here

I think they both got wickets with the last ball of the 50th over.

Lowerhouse cricket was not at all easy on the eye back then. Those were the days when there were more splinters on the benches than bums, we used to cross over Liverpool Road by the canal just in case they dragged us in to watch

Of course, we were just starting our 2nd century of, what we believed would be, not winning anything. I had long moved away by the time that 1st trophy arrived some 30 years later!

Ramsbottom weren't bowled out. Only 9 wickets down. 10 points for the reigning champions. Much better bowling today after the fiasco of yesterday.

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 10:20 pm

Showing as 172/9 after 50.

Some are saying they got the wicket last bowl.

League are saying otherwise.

Drama on the first day

The Lancs League website has now changed the scorecard. They had the number 11 b Erasmus and showed Ramsbottom all out. Now he’s showing not out and they are nine down.
