An action packed weekend saw plenty of great cricket on show at the Turf, culminated by a 7 wicket victory for our FIRST XI over Middleton. It’s always nice to see plenty of familiar faces - with the ‘84 Worsley Cup winning squad in the sponsors lounge to cheer the boys on.
We’re into the second half of the season now - and the schedule doesn’t slow down there. More time down the club? Oh, go on then. So, what’s on this week and what time are we open?
Thursday 25th July
Our U11’s face high-flying Salesbury hoping to cause an upset. 6pm start.
And it’s Senior Training (6pm - 8pm) too.
We’ll be open as usual from 6pm. It’s Thursday, which means that we welcome the local darts league onto the oche in the sponsors lounge in the evening.
The Hundred will be shown (Sky Sports). Or, if you ask nicely, we may put the Rugby League on for you - Huddersfield Giants vs Leeds Rhinos at 8pm (Sky Sports).
Friday 26th July
Salesbury are back again - U13’s this time. 6pm start.
Friday night club in full swing from 7pm (that’s if the test match highlights have been turned off by then). Plenty of sport on the box into the evening with The Hundred, Rugby League, Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony and more.
It’s payday! Get yourselves down to start the weekend properly.
Saturday 27th July
Derby day for our THIRD XI. We’re away from home and play starts at 1pm.
Our U9 B team are in action in the morning at home vs Todmorden.
No game on the Turf in the afternoon, so we’re open from 3pm.
We’ll have the evening session of the test match (England v West Indies, Sky Sports), The Hundred (Sky Sports), Paris 2024 Olympics, the last few races of Saturday’s cards and Rugby League (Sky Sports) on. Plus, the Joyce - Chisora fight into the evening (BT Sport).
Sunday 28th July
Salesbury… again. U9’s this time for our morning cricket fix.
Our FIRST XI are away, meaning it’s Chocky’s SECOND XI at home to Enfield. Sitting pretty in 2nd in the league, we’re looking to build on our recent solid form with our young squad (and Brunty too). Play starts at 1pm.
Club open at 12.30pm. Anne will be on hot food from the kitchen - with a wide range of hot and cold specials on offer. Plus, happy hour all evening after the game. We’ll welcome back the FIRST XI and LADIES team after their fixture against Skelmersdale.
England vs West Indies Day 3 (Sky Sports), Belgian Grand Prix (Sky Sports) and the Rugby League (Sky Sports) should round off your sporting appetite for the weekend.
