Off – field news
Thanks to Dave Smalley for the spray painting of the boundary walls and sightscreen, and to Craig Marsden/ Scott Hope for fixing/supplying the security light.
Thanks too to Bob Spencer for the acquisition of the TV for the West End room and special mention to stalwart Dave Waddington for taking the day off work to assist with T20 ground preparations. Dave’s work on match days with the covers, mowing and pitch marking is invaluable. He has certainly come a long way since marking lines wherever he felt like putting one and trying to mow a tree.
Two new advertising hoardings have gone up for Pendle Carpets and Wallpaper Central and many thanks to these and all our sponsors.
The roller has been christened and signed “Gloria B ” as a thank you to Gloria Bleazard who paid for the repairs to it. Dave Bleazard has been a great help to me too in the last few seasons with his physical assistance and advice
Matthew Stansfield celebrates his birthday by match sponsoring the Burnley game. Many happy returns to Matthew (age undisclosed). It is understood that clubs prodigal son Gav Shields will be in attendance and he will be happy to take questions on his Christmas time assertion that Sean Dyche had no Plan B.
Cricket matters
A number of our youngsters have been undergoing County trails this last few weeks .This is a very difficult process with the standard being quite astonishing. There are hundreds of cricket clubs in Lancashire and all have a great player in the age groups. Congratulations to Henri Cottam who has remained in the County system from last season.
District fixtures have commenced and until this week we have struggled. However all 3 teams recorded wins this week. These matches will be reported soon but in the meantime, as District Chairman, can I thank the coaches from Burnley and Lowerhouse who run the teams and the parents from both clubs who staff the tea rooms. (Charlie Cottam u11s, Wendy Taylor u13s, Dave Nicholas u15s). We are a very small District but punch above our weight both on and off the field and I am very proud of the efforts of all concerned.
