OZ WATCH - The Final Credits

When we said farewell to Jordan Higham as he left for hisAntipodean Adventure, little did we know that he would be returning as a GrandFinal Winner as his Churchill side walloped Morwell on their own patch in Saturdayand Sunday's two day final. After finishing 4th and dispatching top of thetable Ex-Students in last week's semi, with match winning performances fromboth Jordy and Ryan, the Clifton Super Poms repeated the trick against Morwellwho finished 2nd in the regular season with opening batter Jordy holding theinnings together when batters 2,3 and 4 managed 4,4 and 7 respectively. Thatbrought Ryan to the crease and, after Jordy was out having scored 40 out of the62 runs on the scoreboard, skipper Ayres saw his side to victory with a patient56 not out scored off 154 balls. Earlier, he had ripped the home side's battingapart with 6-41 off 21 overs as the two day game moved into its second day.Second innings weren't required for either side as, when time ran out,Churchill were 49 runs ahead on first innings and declared winners afterposting 162-7 in 71 overs is response to their opponents 113 all out.

So, it's back to Blighty and the delights of Roe Green andDarcy Lever in four short weeks’ time for our returning heroes. Thanks toJordy, Zach, Sam Caleb and Finlay for keeping us entertained over the wintermonths. Hoping all have (or had) safe journeys to the UK and their travelarrangements aren't affected by events elsewhere.

2026 CUP DRAWS and GMCL20 Fixtures Released

The 2026 GMCL20 fixtures are now included on the fixtures for the 1st XI and, for the first time, the 2nd XI who make their first foray into the competition. Good luck to both teams.

The Cup draws were quite kind, with two of the three teams drawn at home. The firsts make the short hop to newly promoted Monton with the 2nds, now playing in Division 5 West, at home to former CLL side Milnrow who play their league cricket in Division 5 East. The thirds travel to the Gin Pit Oval to defend their trophy by renewing acquaintances with Astley & Tyldesley whose recent fortunes have dipped and now find their 3rd XI a full three divisions below Elliot Hogben's side.
