Congratulations go to Greenmount CC Under-11s after their victory in the fifth annual Bury District Indoor tournament held at the Castle Leisure Centre.
Freddie Earing, Archie Kerr, Ted Manchester, Jack Senior, Seth Duerden and Tom Heap represented the club under the close supervision of lead junior coach Andy Kerr.
The lads were placed in a strong group alongside Elton A, Ramsbottom and Stand.
A huge well done to the team, it was a deserved victory and the first trophy in the cabinet for 2026!
Thanks to Steve for scoring and to the parents for their fantastic support.
Rob Kilvington’s Ashes journey continues to the Sydney Cricket Ground for the final test .
This time Rob met up with true Greenmount CC legend, professional and great friend Mark Taylor who was Mount paid man in 1988.
Rob is pictured wearing a special pink Greenmount CC T20 shirt, kindly donated by Ian Senior, to support Jane McGrath Day.
The Jane McGrath Foundation was founded by former Aussie legend Glenn McGrath and his late wife to support breast cancer nurses in rural and regional Australia.
Mark has signed the shirt which will be framed and auctioned, all proceeds going to Bury Hospice.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday Rob and go well Tubs!
Greenmount CC’s former chairman brought England some good fortune at the MCG and also had time to meet up with former Mount professional Richard Chee Quee.

“Cheeqs”, club paid man in 1994 and 1997, is lead singer of a rock band ‘Six And Out’ featuring Aussie cricket stars Brett Lee; Shane Lee; Gavin Robertson and Brad McNamara.
After club member Tim Daverage (who had the flag made through his company Lantex and went over to watch the first test) handed the GCC England Ashes flat to Rob in the Log Cabin a couple of weeks ago, Rob – travelling with son Patrick and friend Mark Lambert and his son Sam – met up with Cheeqs at a Melbourne concert and he was delighted to sign it.
Rob is also looking to meet up with other former Greenmount professionals Mark Taylor (1988) and Matthew Hayden (1992) while he is over there.

EVERYONE at Greenmount CC sends their congratulations to club professional Jacques Snyman and his Flexbrands Knights teammates who won the 2025-2026 CSA T20 Knockout competition on Monday after their 11-run victory over Eastern Cape Iinyathi (Border).
Jacques delivered a trademark match-winning performance taking 3 for 31 and making a typically belligerant 26 from 14 balls.
The encounter went to the reserve day at the Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein after rain halted play on Monday.
