THE 2012 SEASON IS HERE!!

MIXED FORTUES FOR SENIORS .... BUT JUNIORS HIT WINNING WAYS

Both senior teams were in action over the weekend. The 1st's lost at Crompton in a game which hinged on two catches - one taken, one missed. A full report and scorecard can be found on the Results page. The 2nd's won a low scoring game over Crompton by one wicket. This week sees a double header with Rochdale visiting Reyner Lane on Saturday, followed by a trip to Walsden in the Wood Cup.
