Is there anything better than a comprehensive win on derby day? Hold on… there is actually.
TWO comprehensive wins on derby day. Plus, both teams completed a seasonal double over Lowerhouse.
Superb all-round wins from both sides left the old enemy pointless, while our boys walked away with maximum points. Tremendous.
Both wins included plenty of standout performances - we’d be here all day mentioning them all, to be honest. However, BIG shout-out to Bedders for his impressive knock in the first innings (100 from 122 balls). Less credit for his celebration though.
Wins from our 3rd XI and Ladies rounded off a clean sweep for BCC over the weekend.
Plenty more where that came from! Let’s dive into what’s on this week at the club…
TUESDAY 6TH AUGUST
U12 Interleague vs Liverpool during the day. Play started at 11am and we’ve got the bar open for it.
Junior training as per in the evening. With nice weather forecast all day, any thirsty parents can enjoy a drink on the terrace while the kids get to work.
Or if you somehow need a further cricket fix, head inside to watch The Hundred (Sky Sports) with Blakes.
WEDNESDAY 7TH AUGUST
Nothing today - club closed.
THURSDAY 8th august
Our U11 B's are in action. We welcome Whalley to the Turf. 6pm start.
Senior training as usual 6pm - 8pm.
As usual, Thursday nights are busy down the club. You’ll find the local darts league on the oche and Snowy hogging the snooker table until late on.
More cricket on the box - The Hundred (Sky Sports). Plus, the Rugby League too.
FRIDAY 9TH AUGUST
Our U15’s are in action to provide your Friday night cricket fix. Enfield are the visitors. 6pm start.
Friday night sees the Football League season return! There’s 4 games on Sky Sports. We’ll likely be watching Derby beat Blackburn to kick things off in style.
Start the weekend off right - “BAR’S OPEN!”
SATURDAY 10TH AUGUST
It’s MATCH DAY!
Our U9 B kick off the weekend action in the morning against Colne. We’re currently sat in 2nd place - keep up the good work, youngsters!
Chocky’s 2nd XI are at home in a top of the table clash with Ramsbottom. Can we continue our good form and close the gap? Club open from 12.30pm. We’ll have Anne in the kitchen - serving a wide range of hot and cold specials. Plus, happy hour after the game. You know the drill by now.
Our 1st XI are away at Rochdale. Likewise, looking to continue their solid recent form and hopefully gain some ground on Darwen at the top of the league. 1pm starts for both.
Good luck, lads.
It’s the first Saturday of the football season and we’ll have all the action shown in the bar. Live games aplenty and the scores from around the grounds filtering through. Plus, there’s a host of cricket, plenty of Rugby League and other sports to keep up with too.
SUNDAY 11TH AUGUST
A rare Sunday off! We’re closed for a private function.
