Lancashire League Wekeender

[Hopey]

Lowerhouse are on the road for all 3 games this weekend.

Nelson in the T20 tonight. Rochdale in the league tomorrow and Netherfield in Kendal for the LKO Cup on Sunday.

We've recruited Will Williams (NZ/Lancs) as stand in pro for tonight and tomorrow, opting to play an all amateur side on Sunday.

Looks like all 3 of our opponents stream their games on youtube for anyone not travelling

[ŽižkovClaret]

Club still open some days for 2nds / Cricket on telly?

Do well to win up at Netherfield without a pro.

[dandeclaret]

Looks a good pro signing for the town's 2nd team.

I didn't know Ockie was injured/unavailable ?

Sub pros not allowed in the comp.

[GetIntoEm]

It is what it is, LKO is a bonus anyway.

As long as we are still top of the prem at the end of the weekend it will have been good

Never a truer word spoken.

Great rule. Needs bringing into LL

[GetIntoEm]

Nelson done for 100

[bfcmik]

Burnley made 145/? from their 20 overs. Rishton currently 45/0 off 6

[Hopey]

No, shite rule.

[Burnley1989]

Great rule. Needs bringing into LL

Another rule everyone in cricket agrees with, along with duckworth lewis, that FCBurnley doesnt....

[Hopey]

House 57/1 off 8

[Hopey]

91/1 off 12

[Hopey]

House win. 2 down.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

A young Rawtenstall team beat Middleton by 6 wickets. A rare moment winning a 20 over match!

[ClaretTony]

Burnley have beaten Rishton by one run.

Rishton needed 9 off the last two balls and hit a 6 off the first of them. Last ball they scored one and then suffered a run out going for the second.

[GetIntoEm]

Easy work for the house. Clear gulf in the standard

[Longsidelenny1882]

UPTHECOLNE

[Dressinggown]

New ground. Should be a good day out !

[Kevwando]

Enfield beat Accy

[FCBurnley]

No, shite rule.

Any rule that can be abused by any club is a bad rule.

Sub pros were a rare thing years ago because of the league’s stringent rules. Thankfully we are long past that now. It would be downright ridiculous not to allow a club to use a sub pro and it's a shame that this county competition doesn't permit it, more so when the regular pro has a genuine injury.

[Burnley1989]

Exactly, trust me, no club wants to fork out £600+ extra every game to get a sub pro unless they've no choice.
Theyre hard to find as well, and you dont want to bring a bang average one in for the sake of it when youve to pay them that sort of money.

Back in the day you had to have a pro - simple as that. I can remember a couple of occasions in the 1970s with Burnley. In 1977 the pro didn't turn up for the game at Church and Burnley had to play with ten players. Burnley v East Lancs in 1978, pro Shafiq Ahmed had been ordered home to Pakistan and in came Lancashire second team player Geoff Trimm. He didn't bowl and got a duck.

A pro was banned from the league if he left before the end of the season too. It might not have been such a problem then but I bet it is a lot harder now.

[FCBurnley]

I wonder if Lowerhouse will have to pay the sub pro today even if the game is canceled due to weather ? And will they still have to pay the full time pro while he is injured ? Expensive times if they are committed to both

[Burnley1989]

Of course they will

[GetIntoEm]

Of course. The sub doesn't control the weather. They'll get paid

[FCBurnley]

Looks like the weather is going to play a big part today. A few games abandoned already. House will no doubt want to get a game played to steal a march on Norden etc

[ClaretTony]

ABANDONED
Burnley v Littleborough
Clitheroe v Darwen
Haslingden v Todmorden
Ramsbottom v Norden

Still not worked out how DLS works?

[FCBurnley]

Still not worked out how DLS works?

Nope. Explain the 2 chases today ? Walsden needed an extra run Rochdale didn’t ?

[GetIntoEm]

44 all out. UTH. Extend the lead at the top. Unstoppable

[GetIntoEm]

Nope. Explain the 2 chases today ? Walsden needed an extra run Rochdale didn’t ?

Ours started as a 28 over game.

The walsden one probably reduced overs mid game
