Still without many regulars the boys battled hard against an experience East Lancs side who deservedly are up at the top of the league. Two unfortunate decisions ripped the LHCC innings apart. A boundary catch step over witnessed by no less than 6 players and spectators and the East Lancs scorer, and a one person appeal LBW accounted for Doughty and Martin respectively. 250 was needed and looked likely until this happened

After an astonishing batting rescue at Colne the week before, an exhilarating bowling performance this week. Maiden 50s for the 2 under 15s and all the batting in general was a joy to behold and set up a big score. At 35 -4 Bacup seemed buried but last years 1XI retired captain Killilea and first team squad member Thompson put on 175 and left Bacup need ing 35 off 7 overs .
Heaton and Edgar returned to the attack and a great catch by Matt Hay broke the partnership. Starved of the strike by good bowling and captaincy forced Killilea into an injudicious shot and Edgar bowled him. Needing 11 off the last over a run out and caught behind saw Bacup all out. Great credit to the kids who battled on throughout

The normally victorious 9s were truly outclassed by the best under 9 team seen in a decade. The phrase men and boys doesn’t quite fit – but it was teenagers and toddlers. The difference in focus and application was massive
