Class of 1963 with class of 1983. Stan Heaton with still sprightly Ken Smith at the ground today. Ken (80) had cycled from his home up Brunshaw. Topics for reminiscence included 1963 pro West Indian Pascal Roberts gold tooth and his reaction to the first time he saw snow The...
By Paul Hargreaves As a very strange cricket season concluded at ‘bonny’ Colne, a few Lowerhouse ultras were considering if any of us had foreseen Matt Hope, after a 12 year hiatus, playing for the first team again. Also a girl (Liberty Heap) making her debut. Another topic was how...

We’ve been working on a project behind the scenes, I say we, Paul and Anne have. This is a special podcast recorded in the clubhouse – let us know what you think of the quality. 160 not out! Cricket had been played in the village for some time, but in...

Spotted on the Crickethistory.website is this post, of the Lowerhouse 2003 team for the Colne Floodlit Trophy – the early Twenty20 competition played in 4 innings of 20 overs. I wonder who was in charge of the write ups…
A new little project/task of ours, suggested by Frank Entwistle is to list our previous captains by year. We’ve also added a column of players who have also captained in that year. We’ve used Nigel Stockleys great Lancashireleague.com to glean the information, but have some blanks! After checking our own...
Another submission from BCTHIC (original post here) Early Breakthrough Lowerhouse opener Stan Heaton goes for the hook shot off Gary Robertson and is caught by Bob Whitaker.

Thanks to Greg Kerr for sending these photos in of tonight’s junior game. Bet that was some pep talk for Jack Kerr and Ollie Bennett.
Another great find from Anne Cochrane. The corner of the ground where the terraces used to be situated has had many a name over the year. Also known as ‘Stella Corner’ I think ‘Purity Corner’ has a better ring to it.
