I had a message from your old man saying that he is having his 21st birthday party on the 50th of April... Maths never was his strong point. You should've done your sums at schoo, Staggers! ;)

On Wednesday the 18th of May, Accrington Cricket Club are proud to host an evening with Garth Dawson. The theme being, "A Pictorial History of Accrington". The event is in Accrington CC's clubhouse, Thorneyholme Road, at 8pm. The admission fee is £2

Real Ale is £2.40 a pint in the Peel Park. I wouldn't drink the pasteurised muck that is badged as "smooth" if it were 50p a pint.

Talking about collections... there is one chap at Accy CC who always develops a severe incontinence problem & disappears to the bogs when the collection box does the rounds. Rumour has it that he keeps a mouse trap ready set, in his pocket, to act as a grim reminder should his digits stray...

Give me 50 overs cricket and I'm happy; more time for libations.:D Twenty/20 cricket is great on a Friday evening during the summer at a local level, at £2 a throw. At county level, it is not value for money once the travelling time & fares, not forgetting ever increasing entry costs to Old...

I doubt it, Cashy. The Lancashire Cricket Board (LCB) have their network of scouts watching the juniors from a young age. By the time they're 18 the majority of young players have appeared on the County radars. If we are talking about young bowlers, there are very strict restrictions regarding...

All matches to be played to Worsley Cup rules would make the for a more interesting game. It would also test a captain's tacticle (sic) skills rather than having one bowler bowling unchanged, throughout the innings. At Accrington CC, the local legend that is David Ormerod, could well be bowling...

Accrington Cricket Club have a function room Contact Kim on her mobile for further details.

I'm not sure if there is a bonfire at Enfield CC, but Accrington Cricket Club are hosting Hyndburn Rotaract Club's charity bonfire. Details can be found here.

'Ow do, Royski. :D I've spoken the chairman of Accy CC, Rod Kenyon, this evening. He said, "Da!" There will be a bonfire at the club, on Saturday 7th of November. I would expect the event will be publicised in the Local Rag, in due course.

I wish I had the same script writer as Mr Lloyd. It was written in the stars. :D A special mention must go to the other member of Accy CC's Dads Army, Paul "Cazzer" Carroll. That towering six, that played "dodge the windscreen" into the car park, certainly relieved the pressure. Ps... I got...

Would you care to qualify any of the above statements? Does it matter if we won with one ball, or one over, or ten overs to spare? The match statistics show that Accrington CC won the game. That is what matters. "Screwed without Silva". Really? Please show me where Roy Silva won a single...

Sparks most certainly was! :D What's more, I captured the Kodak Moment, when the ball slid off Mr Lloyd Senior's bat, to backward point, ( a cricketing terminology), for the winning runs. This season's title felt more special than that of last season's double winning title, because we came...

Oh yes he has! I've got myself a new apprentice sparkologist, starting in August. :D

I have it on good authority that the esteemed David Lloyd, of Accrington, Lancashire & England is once again turning out for his home-town team this weekend. Accrington are at home on Saturday 2nd of May, hosting Todmorden at Thorneyholme Road. The game starts at 1:15pm. Come and sample the...
