Friendly cricket for all abilities
Gregson CC vs. Walton Le Dale CC 25th April 2021 at LRGS God may not play dice with the universe, but after a period of lockdown-induced drunkenness the Gregson somehow found themselves playing three dice-based Twitter cricket matches. True to real life form and expectations two were lost, but the third – against a team […]
Gregson CC vs. Lancaster University 18 April 2021 at LRGS Village cricket gives you a sense of time flowing past. Seasons come. Seasons go. You play many of the same teams each year and their players grow old with you. They may remain better at the technical aspects of the game than you ever were, […]
Silverdale CC vs. Gregson CC 10 April 2021 at Silverdale Laboratory mice, despite having been bred in captivity over many generations, still become fearful at the sound of an owl’s cry.

30 June 2019 at Giggleswick Rathmell won the toss and elected to bat After a difficult run of fixtures against formidable opposition and a losing streak of eight games the tide had been turned with a win at Wyre. This was followed by a win at Eskdale in a close fought encounter. Was the running […]
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 […]
9 June 2019 at LRGS Gregson won the toss and elected to field It would be unfair to say the Gregson was in crisis as the ninth match of the season took place against the nomads of Windsor Wesleyan. ’Winning optional’ is proudly emblazoned on their website and recruitment posters, so coming into the game […]
2 June 2019 at LRGS Bolton by Bowland won the toss and elected to bat With rain prevalent in the days leading up to the match and the LRGS groundsman in hospital, there was some doubt about the game going ahead. But if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if […]
