Interleague
Report:
U11’s beat the Heavywoolen District League in a friendly on Bank Holiday Monday. They had a slight problem with the Coach and Bill Stevenson will look into what we are covered for in our insurance.
U13’s lost to the Heavywoolen District League @ Bradshaw only by 4 runs. Thanks went to Bradshaw for staging the game. Also the U13’s beat the Bolton Association in the first game of three at Horwich in the Teddy Gerrard trophy, One notable performance was Phil Cavill (HO) an U11 who took 5 wickets for only 19 runs, well done Phil. Thanks were also given to Horwich for staging the fixture.
