The finale to the cricket season is almost upon us with just two rounds of matches remaining for out senior teams.
The first eleven – led by Travis Townsend – need only one point from Sunday’s home encounter with Church on 7th September to be fittingly crowned JW Lees Lancashire League Division Two champions.
Promotion has already been secured for Premier League cricket at The Mount next summer.
In the meantime, Oli Dixon’s second eleven travel to Church needing to secure a win to ensure a hat-trick of promotions for all three senior teams.
Mark Crowther’s third eleven have already been confirmed as Second Division winners in their respective competition which means all three Greenmount teams will play in top tier competition next season.
A remarkable achievement and there’s bound to be a celebratory atmosphere on Sunday.
