The thirds started the season off with a win at Lowerhouse
Rawtenstall 1st started the season like every other club a week late playing the Champions Clitheroe at the home of Read CC
April 28th and we are ready to roll at the WMG
The 2018 Season was one of warmest and driest on record but it did not start off like that, as you can see
And if you wanted somthing to read duering those long rain breaks
there was rockets over Cribden a history of the club going back to the days of Kez's youth
New boys Milnrow celebrated our first visit by giving us
24 points
twelve to the firsts and twelve to the seconds
((Here at drinks Milnrow are 20-6) Adil Hussain ended the game with 5-10)
For the first time in living memory Rawtenstall
left Colne without a league win
John 4:23
'Cometh the hour, cometh the man.'
As usual Kes famous for his Lancashire League batting record leads fron front (well number 11)
Sitting in the shade is our scorer for the day
There is a prize for the first person to name all this seasons scorers
Another weekend and we end up cracking yet another bottle .
Twenty20 time and its started to get warm, At Norden Stephen keeps the sun off a few moments later the ground was flooded
Our visit to Rochdale came in the middle of some world cup thing and a heatwave, the heatwave lasted longer than England
Our visit to Middleton was a cracking day,
well Kez said that about his day
The ever young Afrus Ali ( well compared to Kez) leads the 2nds from the front , (and Thailand)
Two of our loyal spectators required a police escort to get to Crompton,
no names to be mentioned
(But Patricia and Richard did say thank you to the boys in blue)
Bert and Bob
It's amazing what the sun brought out
these two turned up at Accrington hoping for a game
the Beast from the east strikes It was a white out at Darwen but Stephen found a shelter
The 1st team game at Rishton was a" family day" the family in question was the Hussains Adil, Ishaq and Siraj (and of course Dad) the former Rishton players tor thier former clubs batting apart 8 wickets between them and a run out
The highlight of Andrew Burton's season is when the blackberrries are out at Bacup road
It's August and the sun is still shining, the higher ground spectators make the most of it
Unfortunately this is a sight we did not see in 2018 Walter never made it to Bacup Rd and we said farwell to Ken after over 80 years .
Rawtenstall started the season playing the league champions Clitheroe and ended playing the new champions Walsden
The Third team played the clubs last match of the season at Littleborough on a wet wicket
