When do you lot start ?

 

We start 26th April away at Little Hulton!

Lostock v Bradshaw firsts was called off on Friday for yesterday because Lostock didn't cover the wicket. Fucking hell, Bradshaw seconds had no less rain but got their game on. Poor from lostock not to even try to get the pitch playable.

 

We started mopping up at 11, took a good few hours to get the standing water off then left it too the elements,  had early tea, tried cutting a new strip on the other side of the square but that was too wet, managed to rope off the area where it was still too wet so had a short boundary, we eventually started at 4:15 in a 22 over a side game and got still got walloped. 

 

Love cricket 

Cutting a new strip 🥴

well done to walkden on winning the hamer cup yesterday, bradshaw were well in the game until the big no9 came in to blast a quick 37. horwich excellent hosts, it shows just how far local cricket has come, a very sparse crowd on, years and years ago they would be far more people watching

If we were being critical, however, one must be asking if having each of the mowing heads of a triple-gang mower cutting different heights was a design feature. 

 

Edit - Just to add, this isn't sour grapes as a reason for my team losing. Merely an observation.

Its just a shame we can’t all be like Bradshaw.

Can’t wait for them to fuck off 👍

Why can't you be like Bradshaw (Whatever "like Bradshaw" means)? What do they have that you haven't got? I'd be interested in your (probably incorrect) perception.

They are all up their own arses

sooner they fuck off the better 👍

What a load of shit. I don't doubt that some may well be but then that'd apply to most clubs.

How did peter Stafford final finish? 

Bradshaw bottled a final at Horwich for the 2nd week running.

Pissed up Horwichers trying to take on the cricketers because of a bit of on-field banter. Umpire scared of your young (and very talented) bowler who swore in his face. He should have been fired off. Shit attitude. As I stated above, the levels of cut on the triple had been re-set for a final involving the home team.

It’s a good job we “didn’t take them on” we could have sent our u18s to knock any of them out.

absolute weapons and they wont be missed

goodbye 🙌

Good season for bradshaw. Didnt go down 👍

I need a favour:

Does anyone have the wording for the Bolton League Rule about non-English players not being allowed to speak anything but English whilst on the pitch? I've never actually seen the rule written down and the official BCL website links to the rule page which states

The 2014 rules will be posted shortly.

There is no “rule”

Wouldn't such a rule be deemed racist these days?

I'm not sure. That's what i want to find out.

I'd have thought/hoped so.

Im not sure it would be illegal.

If companies/organisations can have restrictions on religious clothing, maybe something like this would also pass.

Need a legal bod to clarify really.

Is there an "agreement" then? 

 

Unwritten rule to speak English on a cricket field

Even in pakistan?

Rumour has it I've won something. Whoop whoop.

I watched a bit of jersey Nigeria earlier

I think you might've got a game
