Over the winter we have sadly said goodbye to Bilal Abbas, Matt Collins, Chris Schofield, Hamza Ali, Junaid Hussaid, Jawaad Hussain from the 1st XI and we wish them all the best at their new clubs and they will all be welcome back at any time. Keegan Gee is taking a year out after the birth of their child but he assures us he is not throwing away his whites!

Incoming this year we have Harry Rickard from Clitheroe CC, Amar Ullah from Heywood CC, alongside Daniel & Darius Joseph who have moved to the area who will be available in the summer when not attending private school. We welcome back some familiar faces in Graham Lalor from Burnley CC who left us two years ago and Oliver Whitehead from Walsden CC who left us four years ago. Jon Henderson is out of retirement and is a former skipper and well respected man at the club. Also returning from Rochdale CC is Robin Jackson who needs no introduction and Andrew Barlow returns from Walsden CC after a whopping 34 years. We wish them all the very best, and a huge welcome to the club.

We also have a handful of our juniors who are now old enough to play senior cricket and will be exposed to 3rd XI cricket this year and we wish everyone the best of luck for the summer.
