Only 3 other batsmen have achieved this feat in the clubs history (Stan Heaton – 7939, Brian Higgin – 8108 and Uncle Chris Bleazard – 16719). Congratulation Ben from everyone at the club, I’m sure you’re already gunning...

We have made a new addition to the clubhouse Wall of Fame – Ben Heaps bat from 2017. Ben broke two records with the bat, which stands next to Chris Bleazards club record bat. Ben hit the first ever Lowerhouse Twenty20 century and his magnificent 175 versus Great Harwood, which...
LCB CUP FINAL It was very sad that Sunday’s weather made for a dreadful conclusion to what was a day of anticipated thrill and skill. The play that took place, albeit only 9 overs, showed to us that the standard of league cricket in Lancashire is something that we can...

‘Game to remember’ Rawtenstall versus Lowerhouse Sept. 16th, 1990 Most games to remember are characterised by either exciting finishes or extraordinary feats of batting or bowling. Although this finale to the 1990 Lancashire League season produced 3 fine innings, it will be remembered largely by the statisticians for the records...

In 2014 the Club won its fourth League title. You have 4 medals for winning the League and two for the Worsley Cup. Hopefully that’s not the final tally but how much do you like to mention these successes to those who told you to leave Lowerhouse if you ever...
Here’s more questions & answers from the man himself! Up to 2004 you probably had very few good memories of the Worsley Cup. Lowerhouse had suffered humiliating defeats against an abject Colne team in 1992 and a comprehensive defeat versus Church in the 2002 semi-final. Did you have a here we...
Day 2 of Blez week – here’s questions 6 to 10. From 1992 to 2000 you were almost always Lowerhouse’s top batsman without quite reaching the dizzy heights of ’90-’91. You passed 700 in 1996 and 1999 but had relatively poor seasons in 1994 and especially 1998. How do you...
