Quote " Church could be the first grass roots club to collate and preserve its statistical history in the manner and detail which is now available" -I have it on the authority of a nationally-recognised cricket historian that they ARE the first.

If the boundary wall at Church were still there, I'd be out wi' t' whitewash.

I raise a glass to Phil Sykes and Nigel Stockley.
well done to church on this achievement, i helped with alot of improvements down there at church when don holt was the chairman, he started as you prob- know with me at woodbank cc before we moved onto a far supierior league in the lancs- league, both for diff0 reasons
