2010: The Youngest First Eleven in History?

Another brilliant submission to The History Books — this time shining a light on a landmark moment in 2010.

That year, Lowerhouse fielded what Nigel Stockley described on his site as “the youngest First Eleven in the history of the Lancashire League.” With an average age of just 20, it was a bold selection that reflected the club’s deep investment in youth and local talent.

This wasn’t just about filling shirts — it was about building a future. The side was packed with emerging players who had come through the junior ranks, showing the strength of the club’s development pathway and its commitment to backing the next generation.

That young XI helped lay the foundations for a golden era at Lowerhouse — and today, they’re remembered as pioneers of a new, fearless era in West End cricket.

Another proud chapter in our history — and another reason to believe in the future.
