April 20, 201214 yr Author Ste Foster back at bradshaw this year fes. yes pal, an old friend of mine, only 4 short of a 1000 league wickets.nobody else in this year and a new pro
April 20, 201214 yr Ste Foster back at bradshaw this year fes. Aye he's off about 2 paces now but will still take wickets. He puts it there & they get themselves out. Really looking forward to the new season. Needs to warm up a bit though. Wogden will be there or thereabouts. Dave Smith is a legend down them parts.

April 20, 201214 yr Farnworth were a joke team til Mr Axford started putting the cash back in. Tonge are in a bad state. Big debt to the brewery by all accounts.
April 20, 201214 yr Author sjm, whats your views on a 2 division league in bolton. my views would be good for local cricket
April 20, 201214 yr Greenmount again. My mate AJ reckons he will be in the runs this season at Bradshaw, he's very proud of a new bat he's just bought. My lot at Heaton will miss last season's pro, lower mid table beckons.

April 20, 201214 yr aj the south african. had a rough deal at bradshaw, a good player who deserves a chance, a thoroughly plecent chap Second season in the League, I reckon he will kick on from last year. Should be given more of a chance with the ball as well.
April 20, 201214 yr Author Second season in the League, I reckon he will kick on from last year. Should be given more of a chance with the ball as well. i agree but the bradshaw tend to like spin and the captain is a bowler, so cant see much chance for him there, i expect to see at least 700 runs from him given the chance
April 20, 201214 yr sjm, whats your views on a 2 division league in bolton. my views would be good for local cricket I agree, the 20/20 divisions show it works so why not in the league, two titles 2 cups promotion relegation and 20/20 wld be great
April 21, 201214 yr Sjm and fester, what is the point in asking each other about two division cricket? It will never happen. Was involved in the last two proposals to expand the league and it is a non starter. I will back Greenmount if they have replaced Andy Kerr with anyone decent. Farnworth will have points deducted if they don't fulfill junior and second team fixtures. Walkden have splashed a lot of cash about but team spirit and actually playing for the badge will see them fall short.
April 21, 201214 yr The structure of the league committee and then the voting process means very little get through. The proposal to expand the league to 20 clubs with 2 divisions of 10 would have made cricket far more competitive and interesting. Also leaving more sundays for lko, nko and 20:20 cricket. Some of the excuses why clubs were against the proposal were laughable.
May 10, 201214 yr Greenmount & Farnworth setting the pace, surprise surprise. Got a few hours of sun & watching cricket on Sunday. Fingers crossed for Saturday, forecast sounds promising. http://www.boltoncricket.co.uk/
