24 June 2019 at Eskdale CC Gregson won the toss and elected to bat The longest away trip of the season for the Gregson, and what a pleasure it is to turn up at Eskdale Cricket Club. Surrounded by the green hills of the Lake District, the gentle sound of a steam train’s whistle echoing […]

16 June 2019 at Wyre Gregson won the toss and elected to bat “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; or close the pitch up with our Gregson dead.” So dire had the run of losses become that Captain Sumsion summoned up ‘O’ level Shakespeare classes to try and motivate the troops before […]

Heavy rain overnight had put […]

17 May 2019 LRGS staff won the toss and elected to bat There’s always something a little different about the game against the Grammar School staff. Sure, it’s a 20:20 on a Friday night rather than a 40 over Sunday fixture, but it is more the atmosphere. The Gregson are in the visitor’s dressing room, […]

12 May 2019 – at LRGS Gregson won the toss and elected to field It was Redmile that took the first wicket, as Syrett Sr (22) found himself caught by Sumsion at mid off.
