Well, well. What's going on there MickyD?

 

Hasn't the deadline to resign from Bolton League already expired?

Nothing at all to do with numbers at Horwich. 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.

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 

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. 

Longer format suit us.

Wouldnt be surprised if a few old association teams look to pastures new , rumour a few old bcl looking as well 

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.

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.

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.

They wont be a loss

I've heard Horwich are keeping a watching brief on Bradshaw's venture to GML

Are Bradshaw still going to GMCL? Have they resigned from the BCL this time or does the refused resignation still stand?

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.

More than one is 

I've heard Westhoughton and Horwich because of the dropping standards in BCL.

Probably bollocks aswell
