September 24, 20223 yr Popular Post Proud as punch today. u15s lads I’ve been coaching at Heaton since they were toddlers won the GMCL cup today.
September 25, 20223 yr Christ. I’ve been away from Bolton so long I had no idea that there wasn’t a Bolton League and Bolton Association any more and that some clubs played in the GM league Remembering back to the mid/late ‘70s I played at Bradshaw under the coaching of Ray Taylor. Loved moving up through the age groups to my one and only appearance for the 2nds at Heaton Would probably have stayed in the game if T20 and the like had been a thing back in the day. Taverners cricket at the junior levels ruined it for me. Hopefully T20, the 100, etc keeps kids in the game

My Dad was good mates with Ray’s dad Barry and used to go to Wanderers games with him. It’s how I got involved with Bradshaw. Must make an effort next year to get down there and say hello to him. Doubt he’ll remember me but him and my Dad generated my love for the game
September 26, 20223 yr Let someone know on here and we'll try to make sure Ray is attending whichever game you're going to.

I was the 6 foot fast bowler from about 12/13 years of age who was way taller than the other kids but I couldn’t bowl seamers. I could only bowl out of the back of my hand like a “leggie”. Used to drive Ray mad. I do remember a couple behind the bar so it probably was your parents. Were you in the junior teams? Brian Cole was THE Bradshaw legend at the time. Think it was Johnathon of the Legg’s that I remember
September 27, 20223 yr Couple of lads from school were there at the same time. Neil Wharmby and his younger brother, Julian, Ian Coupe

Seemed odd to me at the time that BCL would agree to the move but then have to wait for Ribblesdale's clubs to agree. Be interesting to see how many BCL clubs are still in the merged league in a couple of years...

And Stacksteads play in Rawtenstall nowadays, so that's handy, we can go for a swill after.

Would love to mate, but early indications are 2nd XI will only play locally, therefore only against the BCL clubs. It's the 1st XIs that will be putting the miles in. Not sure if this is definitely going to be the case but it's what I heard a while back.

October 12, 20223 yr Just now, Traf said: Clayton Powis? Whilst Clayton Powis is a racist, he's not the racist in question here. Clayton Powis is still a racist though, let's not forget that.
