Thirds win league title after superb summer

Congratulations to Greenmount CC third team who rounded off another great summer by clinching the Second Division championship at Nelson on Saturday.

The team – captained by Mark Crowther – has featured a mainly junior group ably supported by the experience of senior players Wesley Young and Matthew Gilmore.

It’s been a family affair too with the three Clarke brothers Adam, Tom and Ben all featuring alongside Noah and Max Birtwistle.

Father and son duos Liam and Jake Riley and Mark and Dexter Crowther have also enjoyed playing in the same team.

The match at Nelson followed a familiar pattern of the previous nine wins with a strong bowling performance backed by solid batting.

Wesley Young and Max Birtwistle scored half centuries and 15-year-old Ed Cunnington grabbed a hat-trick to crown a superb day.

Congratulations to everyone who has played and helped the group to the title.
