Decent facilities, not the worst team and juniors decent enough. Daisy Hill, Little Hulton and Darcy Lever offer very little to the league, to name a few. Daughter plays rounders at Darcy Lever CC and often, when they're playing, there's also a junior game on. I don't know what age groups or whether all agegroups are covered but there's certainly junior cricket going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could of put a team out and walked the league. We decided to play the under 18s in the 3rd team on a Sunday. 40 overs and better opposition. Most of them are playing 1st or 2nd x1 and the under 18s is just a waste of time for everyone I think same applied at Bradshaw. By the time folk get to under 18s they're planning their future at Uni so often won't be available at the start and finish of the season. As you say, often those who are playing the older junior cricket games are also playing 3rds, 2nds and 1sts so what's to be gained? Especially when, as discussed earlier, other teams don't bother showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Horwich Posted January 31, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2019 We won the league a cpl of years ago and only played 2 or 3 games. Rest given to us as walkovers. pointless for everyone involed in u18s cricket. Never played since and doubt we ever will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizz Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 We’re playing 18s with our U15/14s kids. One age group isn’t enough for most of them. Some will play senior cricket but that’s not right for all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted April 1, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2019 I've heard that too. It won't stop Little Lever giving us maximum shit on last day of season. I fancy Eagley for promotion. They've signed some decent players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 2, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2019 Does little lever's ground have an aroma of dog nuggets wafting around it during warm weather? Once walked (perhaps should be picked my way) along the public footpath at the side of the ground, and it was purely a dog toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly plenty of shit coming from the LL players and supporters when they're sitting on the balcony. Nothing short of embarrassing listening to them sledging players (even their own if they make a mistake) at full voice while there are kids roaming about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whizz Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Are Bradshaw still going to GMCL? Have they resigned from the BCL this time or does the refused resignation still stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted April 2, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm not sure if they had to re-resign or the previous resignation stands but as far as I'm aware, we'll be playing in the GMCL next season. The confusion came when a highly regarded league official game Bradshaw his opinion/interpretation of a rule rather than the actual meaning of the rule.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
