Hopeys match review sponsored by FCBurnley.

Lowerhouse took on Todmorden today at the home of cricket — and what unfolded was nothing short of the Patrick Martin Show.

After winning the toss, Todmorden opted to bowl first, a decision that looked to pay off early as no Lowerhouse batter managed to get set in what proved to be challenging conditions. I’ll be the first to hold my hands up — at 143 all out, falling just three balls short of batting the full 50 overs, I didn’t think we had enough on the board, especially remembering the strength Todmorden showed in last year’s Worsley Cup Final.

Henri Cottam top-scored with 25, while Paddy Martin anchored the tail with a gritty 22 not out, batting out the overs and ticking off yet another personal milestone. His knock took him past 3,000 Lancashire League runs, cementing his place in the Lowerhouse Hall of Fame — adding batting honours to his growing list of bowling achievements.

After tea, chaos descended — and Todmorden were the ones caught in the storm. Paddy opened the bowling and tore through the top order with ruthless precision. At one stage, Tod were reduced to 4 for 5, as Lowerhouse turned the screw.

In the end, Todmorden were bowled out for just 52 in 22.1 overs, handing Lowerhouse a dominant victory and the full 12 points. The star of the show, of course — Patrick Martin, finishing with sensational figures of 7 for 31 off 11.1 overs, a spell that leaves no doubt about his all-round status in this side.

The win sees Lowerhouse pass the 100-point mark in the league table as momentum continues to build.

In big trouble. But at least the headlines will be taken by Burnley going down and not the house winning the league

[ŽižkovClaret]

Some effort by Paddy Martin!

[GetIntoEm]

Something to be proud of

[ClaretTony]

Another shambles of a showing from Burnley. Real relegation threat now.

Far far far to good to go down, as funny as it would be

[Burnley1989]

Great win, wicket didnt look great but we did play some daft shots, was just one of those days which have become rare.

Always feel we can defend a low total with our bowlers, made up for paddy, he deserves it

Nice big hat.

I drove back from silverstone st 7am, topped myself up very quickly, i remember very little mate

[JohnDearyMe]

I went on the Lowerhouse Todmorden game this afternoon. There were two sensational catches; one by the young lad who was Lowerhouse's wicket keeper diving to catch one that had looped over behind him. And a great diving one handed catch on the boundary by a Todmorden player.

That young lad behind our stumps has played 350+ consecutive games. He’s 32. He’s a god like wicket keeper though.

Ah sorry didn't see him without his helmet on. Really difficult catch to take either way.

The Todmorden catch was sensational. It was close to me and he ran and flung himself in the air as it was dropping just over the boundary. Caught it one handed and held it as he landed. Even his own team mates were in disbelief.
There was a similar one by the Church pro last night in almost the exact same spot. He jumped up and patted it back before catching it.

14 year old scoring today, give him chance .

Didn't know that, and fair play to him at that age .. I remember a very young Stuart Gaynor scoring for the u14's back in the day !
It got sorted quickly ..

You're only as good as your last game and the table says they are that bad, at present, albeit a long way to go to the end of the season

Tbf i hadnt realised they were only a few points off bottom, I only had a look this morning. Really odd when its the same side that were so strong last year.

[BigRedrose]

Netherfield 134 all out v Burnley in Lancs knock out. Hard to tell if that's an achievable total the way we've batted this season.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Early finish at Bacup Road with Rawtenstall’s promotion charge back on after a 6 wicket win over East Lancs who were bowled out for 86.

[BigRedrose]

Burnley 1 down for 4, Bedford lbw

[BigRedrose]

Burnley 35 gor 1 in the 7th over.

Burnley 67 for 3, extras having a marvellous day, currently 25.

Yes, took a break from cricket earlier in the season and can’t disrupt a league topping side at the moment. What a learning experience for the twos.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Seems to be a lot of ex pro’s who are playing for the love of the game in the Lancashire league these days.

[Bordeauxclaret]

The first time a female has taken a wicket in the Lancashire League yesterday.

I was playing golf with one a few weeks ago, who will obviously remain nameless, but he told me there were 4 players, as well as himself receiving "incentives" from their club...

With teams like East Lancs struggling to field a team and survive, then other clubs bunging nearly half of their team, the gap is getting bigger and bigger just like football..

[Dark Cloud]

The first time a female has taken a wicket in the Lancashire League yesterday.

Indeed it was and I was there. She bowled extremely well actually and also batted excellently which meant I couldn't quite fathom her coming in at number 11. Anyway, a desperately needed win for Arrod!

[dsr]

And another win for the mighty Colne. Colne made 235-6 which was too many for Church who could only manage 234-9.

Exciting, but late, finish. Depending on the last ball, colne could have finished with 5, 7, 9, 10 or 12 points.

They'll be letting them play snooker down t'miners next......
