Greenmount CC are delighted to announce the signing of Dominic Ashley from Swinton Moorside Cricket Club in the Greater Manchester League.

An opening bowler, Dom is currently playing out in Australia for Mildura Settlers CC and at this rate he will be in for Mark Wood!

The Settlers – based in Victoria – once fielded the fabulous talents of former Greenmount CC professional Jamie Siddons.

We look forward to welcoming Dom to the Log Cabin in the Spring!

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.

FULL SCOREBOARD

Pictured below are Jacques with his teammates; wife Erin and daughter Leyah and an interview with the Mount paid-man following the victory.

Greenmount first eleven kick off their 2026 Division One campaign with a trip to Burnley on Sunday, 19^th April.

The two clashes against local rivals Ramsbottom are at home (Sunday 14^th June) and down at Acre Bottom (Sunday 30^th August).

The first team have also been drawn away at East Lancashire in the first round of the Worsley Cup on Saturday 2^nd May.

The popular T20 competition begins on Friday 29^th May with a trip up the valley to Haslingden followed by a home game against Bacup on 5^th June; away at Littleborough on 12^th June; at home to Rochdale on 19^th June and the group stage concludes with a clash against Rawtenstall away on 26^th June.

All fixtures – including those for the second and third teams – can be found below…

We at Audrey’s have perfected the ultimate roast dinner ready for this weekend – slow-cooked beef brisket or honey roast gammon, roasted potatoes, mash, honey carrots (with honey from Charlotte’s mum’s bees!), peas, Yorkshire pudding and proper gravy!

Add cauliflower cheese or an extra Yorkshire if you’re feeling fancy.

And finish off with apple crumble, brownie or a full-on cheeseboard.

We will be serving from 12 noon to 6pm – and we WILL sell out so book now.

To book, contact us at audreyskitchengcc@gmail.com or ring 07921 523746.

Quiz Night at the Mount returns by popular demand on Friday, 17th October with our dynamic host Ian Senior!

Tickets are just £5 and are now available behind the members’ bar. There is a maximum of six people in a team and start time is 7.30pm on the dot.

Why not get down earlier and make an evening of it with a slap up meal from Audrey’s Kitchen?

Audrey’s Kitchen are thrilled to share that they have this week been awarded a 5-star food hygiene rating – the highest you can get!

It’s a huge achievement for the amazing team for keeping standards spotless from day one and to all members and visitors who have supported them while they’ve been getting up and running.

Pop down this weekend and tuck into pies, curries, cakes and coffees knowing everything is cooked up to the very best standards.

It’s strange to have the first weekend without cricket but last Saturday night saw the Annual Senior Cricket Presentation awards held at the Log Cabin.

Amid a season of excellent team performances, there were, of course, some outstanding individual efforts and heroic moments. See presentation article.

And a big shout-out goes to Mark Crowther who won the Club Person of the Year trophy.

Mark has devoted a huge amount of time to the club, volunteering behind the scenes and handling all sorts of essential tasks that often go unnoticed.

If you’ve watched Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams you’ll appreciate how lucky we are to have such great facilities. You’ll also know that clubs like ours rely on the dedication of many people to keep them running.

AUDREY’S KITCHEN

Audrey’s is really starting to fly now and we want to thank you for your support so far!

Join us again on Friday at 4pm for an array of winter warmers. We’re serving up homemade pies, curries, chilli and sausage rolls. Come down and give them a try – you’ll find great quality at very fair prices.

Breakfast is served at 10am on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, we’re also offering a proper Sunday Roast: slow-cooked beef brisket with homemade Yorkshire pudding, mash, honey carrots and our own homemade gravy.

LIVE AT THE LOG CABIN

NIGHTCREATURES DUO

Only 20 tickets remain for our Jazz Club night.

This is your chance to see the Log Cabin transformed into a candlelit jazz club. Tickets are available from the bar for members at just £15.

That price includes an Audrey’s Kitchen grazing platter. The band is red hot, playing New Orleans-style blues covers of artists from The Beatles to ZZ Top and Prince!

CAR PARK CLOSURE

The car park will be closed for a significant surface upgrade from Monday, 29th September to Monday, 6th October.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to improve our facilities.

CLUB POLICY & CONDUCT

With the autumn upon us, we’d like to share a friendly reminder on club policy and conduct. We have zero tolerance for any abuse towards our staff or any form of antisocial behaviour.

We’re not getting heavy here folks – we simply want to make sure we keep the warm, friendly and family environment that makes our community club so special.

We have a great reputation, especially with visiting clubs, and we’re all responsible for keeping our values alive.
