We’re BACK! Apologies, we’ve been quiet since the season ended. Going forward, you can look forward to our newsletters dropping in your inboxes on the first Monday of every month.

We have PLENTY to catch up since we last touched base. Plus, there’s a lot going on to get involved with. So, let’s not waste any more time and dive right in…

Lancashire League Annual Dinner - Our Award Winners

Last Friday (25th), Burty had another opportunity to get his hands on the league trophy at the Lancashire League Annual Dinner. 

Hosted at Rochdale Cricket Club, the Burnley boys cleaned up on the award front. Standard.

Our award winners…

• Snowy earned the Premier League Under 23 Award for Most Wickets - ending the season with 31 scalps at an average of 16.09

• Qas picked up the Premier League Under 23 Award for Most Runs - notching up 459 runs at an average of 25.50 

• Premier League Bowling Performance of the Season… who else could it be? Baz claimed the award for his incredible 8/20 at Rochdale

BIG well done to these lads 👏👏👏

Our CHAMPIONS Dinner - Save the Date

That leads us nicely into our night of celebration and reflection on the season. 

The eagerly anticipated, CHAMPIONS Dinner makes a return. Sort of feels like an annual thing of late, right? 

Always a night to remember - and no, not just because Elvis is usually in the building. 

Don’t worry, you have plenty of time to get a new dress bought and your suit picked out as the dinner isn’t until… 

Saturday 1st February 2025 in the 1882 Lounge at Burnley Football Club. 

Promise we’re not milking the celebrations - it’s the earliest availability for our busy neighbours. Ok, go on then… maybe we are, a little.

2025 Season Fixture Announcement

Two months without any cricket is enough, isn’t it? We know you’ll be missing it - we certainly are. Not to wish time away but we’re already looking forward to next season, especially after the initial fixture announcement last week.

The Ron Singleton Colne Trophy

We host the old enemy to kick off the season on Saturday 19th April.

Nothing like a quiet start to get into the swing of things, eh?

Worsley and Junior Cup

Our 1st XI kick off their cup campaign at home to Middleton - with our 2nd XI heading to their place.

T20 Campaign

For the shortest format, we’ve been drawn into a group with Church, Rishton, Nelson, Great Harwood and Lowerhouse.

Already excited for those Friday nights at the Turf 😍

What’s On at the Club?

BFC Matchdays

Those boys next door in claret and blue have two home games throughout November. 

• Sunday 10th November vs Swansea City

• Tuesday 26th November vs Coventry City 

Come and join us for the usual… 

• 3 bars

• Hot food

• Post-match happy hour special offers

• Parking

• Live football - for those who aren’t heading on the match

Don’t forget away games either - 3 of them to look forward to (kind of). 

• Thursday 7th November at West Brom

• Saturday 23rd November at Bristol City

• Saturday 30th November at Stoke City

We’ll be open. And you’ll definitely need a pint to endure another 90 minutes of nothingness.

Sunday Lunch with Anne

Good old Anne has been working her magic in the kitchen on the first Sunday of each month. And we saw another great turnout yesterday for her fantastic roast dinner 👏

December is the next one, however, it’ll be hosted on the 15th as… IT’S CHRISTMAAAAASSS!

Sorry about that.

Contact Anne (07810200112) to book. Be quick, spots are filling up and there are only so many pigs in blankets to go around.

Speaking of Christmas, sorry again. The newly appointed social committee has some dates for your diaries…

1st December. We’re hosting a Junior Christmas Party! Keep your eyes peeled on our socials throughout the month for more details.
