Saturday’s Worsley Cup first round fixtures pitted Greenmount against Norden, the first team travelling the short distance to Stag Park.
Unfortunately – and very much in line with this summer so far – the weather had the final say as the match was abandoned without a ball bowled and will now be played next Saturday (11th May).
This left the second team to take centre stage and they thrilled the home crowd with an excellent display which took their opponents from a higher division right to the wire.
In a high-scoring entertaining watch, the aggregate scores almost reached 600, belying the pre-season wet conditions.
The highlight was a stand of 186 from new boy 17-year-old Toby Leach and the more experienced campaigner Kieran Edwards, entertaining the crowd with an array of boundaries including 9 sixes and 17 fours.
Toby reached an excellent maiden senior century and Kie unfortunately missed out by just two runs for an equally excellent 98.
After a nice cameo from Noah Birtwistle who continued his fine early season form with an unbeaten 20 from 10 balls, the innings closed on 298 from 48 overs.
Callum Hunter
Norden set about the chase – reduced slightly by DLS – with immediate intent. There were excellent contributions from Nick Brierley (78) and Haris Hussain (48) but Ross Collin’s unbeaten 44 from 32 balls saw them narrowly over the line.
Once again our second team bowling attack carried a very youthful air with most of the front line bowlers under the age of 18, pitting their skills against experienced senior players.
It can only be good for their development and experience as they are learning fast. Brothers Max and Noah Birtwistle took two wickets apiece and Ed Dickinson the other as Norden reached their target with five wickets remaining.
Watch out for our second team this summer, there are some good stories starting to build with our young players – we will have some good and bad days but overall the signs are that its already a big improvement on last year, rumour has it that Oli Dixon has been seen smiling after games!
On to Sunday and the second round of league matches this time against Walsden.
The first team made the away trip but having lost the toss experienced a torrid innings, being tumbled out for 109 in just 28 overs on a sporting wicket.
Fortunately Callum Hunter ensured that we reached three figures with a battling 35 not out, receiving valuable support from Kieran Edwards and Danny Hornby.
However the Mount then proceeded to do what we didn’`’t last year – win ugly!
Amal Dalugoda
Walsden were bowled out for just 53 in 20 overs with Jacques Snyman taking 4 for 18 from ten overs and new man Amal Dalugoda weaving his magic with 5 for 19 from eight overs, a fantastic performance from both spinners and a very positive result against a quality team who will surely be challenging for promotion.
League positions after two matches are fairly meaningless however the important point is that we have won two from two and in each game different players have delivered the impact to change the fortune of the match.
Oli Dixon’s winning smile returned once again with a routine win over Walsden seconds. Walsden simply had no answer to a fantastic spell of controlled swing and seam bowling as Oli took 6 for 45 from 12 overs, ably supported again by Noah Birtwistle with 3 for 16 from 12 overs to continue his great start to the season.
Here’s an example of a young player taking his chance having been asked to open the bowling last week and it’s excellent to see young players taking on the challenge and impacting the game with performance.
Low scoring matches can often raise the blood pressure but a calm unbeaten 21 from Sammy Greenhalgh ensured the win comfortably by seven wickets. Two wins from two for our twos!
It’s a positive start to the season all round, lets keep the momentum up next week!
Well, after all the awful weather and disruption of league postponements, the 2024 season finally got under way at the weekend with a very positive start for the Mount.
If you came to watch any of the matches congratulations for your endurance as it was absolutely freezing and not exactly ideal conditions for cricket – but I guess we cannot afford to be choosy!
Tom Heaton
The first team celebrated the inaugural match under new sponsorship from Mercedes-Benz of Whitefield with a workmanlike win over Rawtenstall at home.
Batting first, Rawtenstall posted 246 for 5, the highlight being an excellent century from debut professional Anuk Fernando who struck 116 from 118 balls with ten fours and six sixes.
Tom Heaton and Callum Hunter picked up two wickets apiece whilst Amal Dalugoda took his first scalp for Greenmount.
There was an early scare and disappointment for the home crowd when returning professional Jacques Snyman fell early for just two but they were treated instead to an excellent recovery led by Tom Heaton in typically belligerant mood hitting 69 from 73 balls while Andy Kerr showed early imperious style in making 54 from just 49 balls with six fours and two sixes.
Skipper Travis Townsend joined in the positive momentum and continued to build partnerships through the innings with his own 46 (three fours and two sixes) before Dan Stevens and debutant Gav Nicholl saw the team home with an unbroken stand of 46.
Dan finished on 27 not out with two fours and a six, Gav hit three fours and a six in his unbeaten 23 to round off an excellent day and seal the win.

Meanwhile up the valley at an icy Rawtenstall, the second team also started their campaign with a win.
Asked to bat first, father and son partnership Nigel and Rupert Hallows put on 77 for the first wicket before Rupert was caught behind for an excellent 41.
Runs continued to be steadily compiled on an understandably slow pitch, all batters contributing with Nigel Hallows and Sam Greenhalgh both 37, Ed Dickinson 26 and an entertaining cameo of 35 from new signing Toby Leach from just 26 balls.
Rawtenstall struggled to deal with the opening bowling partnership of Noah Birtwistle and Oli Dixon, losing wickets steadily throughout their reply.
Noah bowled with excellent control and extracted turn and bounce, earning impressive figures of 3 for 35 from 12 overs, an excellent effort.
Skipper Oli Dixon also returned excellent figures of 4 for 37 from his 12 overs and it was left to veteran campaigner Gareth Williams (1 for 12) alongside Toby Leach (2 for 1) to complete the innings and round off an excellent display in the field.
There was a real energy about the group and the fielding was boosted by some outstanding saves from Sam Greenhalgh and also good catching from both Noah and Toby.
On Saturday the third team, skippered by Wesley Young in Mark Crowther’s absence, went down to Rishton by five wickets .
Batting first Greenmount could only muster 134 – Adam Clarke with 29 not out , Noah Birtwistle 34 and Toby Leach 22 being the main contributors.
Rishton eased to the target with five wickets down, helped by the inclusion of more experienced players compared to the youthful Greenmount attack, all of whom were under the age of 18.
However the young lads stuck to the task positively and didn’t make it easy for the visitors, there will be plenty of learnings and useful experience gained.
Adam Clarke 2 for 28 completed a good all round match, Noah Birtwistle (2 for 38) and George Kenyon on senior league debut (1 for 10) took the wickets to fall.
There’s a big weekend of action next week with both first and second teams in cup ties on Saturday, league action on Sunday and the third team on Bank Holiday Monday.
The good news is that the forecast is for the temperatures to rise to mid to late teens – get the shorts out!
Check out our website and Facebook pages for team news later in the week.
Whisper it carefully in case the Rain Gods hear – but the start of the Lancashire Cricket League season is upon us this weekend!
Greenmount CC are in action on Saturday when Mark Crowther’s newly promoted third team take on Rishton and then on Sunday the first team – led once again by Travis Townsend – will entertain Rawtenstall to kick off their latest bid for promotion to the Premier League.
Ahead of the action we are delighted to welcome our new club sponsor Mercedes-Benz of Whitefield down to the Mount on Friday evening (April 26th).
The Mercedes-Benz team will be at the club from around 4.30pm with a selection of the latest fantastic new models to view and members will be able to arrange test drives with the sales team.
Club professional and Pretoria Capitals star Jacques Snyman will be in attendance along with other members of the first team squad to meet our partners and join in a promotional photo call.
We are also holding our Junior Registration Session between 5pm and 7pm – unfortunately we are unable to start junior training until Friday 3rd May while we continue to prepare the ground for the weekend’s action but come down to the club and see what’s new, get registered ahead of the season start and check out the latest Mercedes-Benz models.
We are eagerly looking forward to the season and to welcoming our new friends from Mercedes-Benz from Whitefield – see you there!
Greenmount Cricket Club is delighted to unveil a new sponsorship partnership for 2024 with Mercedes-Benz of Whitefield. This superb local dealership, located just a 15 minute journey from the club on the outskirts of Bury, is part of LSH Auto, one of the world’s largest premium automobile dealer groups.
Mercedes-Benz of Whitefield offers state of the art facilities, the latest range of new luxury vehicles, access to a huge range of approved used cars, and a vast array of aftersales services to ensure that your car is maintained to the highest standards. The business is committed to providing outstanding customer service and will be working alongside the cricket club to provide unique member specific offers and services.
The partnership comes at a time when Greenmount Cricket Club continues to invest in upgrading all aspects of the club facilities with the recent installation of brand-new practice nets and two hybrid pitches. The club has also continued to improve the internal lounges which now includes a refurbished function room and home to the renowned Harrison’s at Greenmount bistro.
Greenmount CC Chairman Andrew Skinner commented “I am chuffed to bits for our club to partner with such a high-quality brand like Mercedes-Benz of Whitefield and see this as another positive step forward in lifting the profile of the club in the local community.
“Already as a result of their support we are able to upgrade our playing kits for the season ahead, including an exciting new T20 design, and have been able to offer free playing shirts to all our junior members. I’m looking forward to us developing the partnership in the coming season and enjoying some great cricket together!”
Jacques Snyman
South African professional Jacques Snyman returns to his spiritual home of Greenmount on Friday 12th April and is looking forward to helping Mercedes-Benz of Whitefield to promote their exciting new ranges in the community.
Jacques said “Greenmount CC is an amazing place to be and is the nerve centre of the local community. I am so excited to be coming back and it is even better to know that we have a quality brand partner in Mercedes-Benz of Whitefield which I think is a great fit for the local area and I feel it is a privilege to be involved with both organisations.”

As the weather has deteriorated further over the past week most of the leagues in Lancashire have deferred the start of their season to the end of April.
Last night the JW Lees Lancashire League took the decision to acknowledge that most clubs stand little to no chance of staging cricket in the near term and have decided to delay the start of the season to Saturday 27th April for third team fixtures and Sunday 28th April for the senior teams.
Our ground has been badly affected by the weather and specifically there is an area from the pavilion across to the War Memorial which is exceptionally wet.
We respectfully therefore ask that no matter how attractive the ground may look over the weekend if the sun does actually emerge please stay off the playing area at all times.
There are a couple of further adjustments to our plans as a result of this action .
Junior Cricket
The first junior practice night will now be held on Friday 3rd May from 6pm. On Friday 26th April we will have a registration and signing up session between 5 and 7pm at the club.
Any junior matches arranged w/c 22nd April will be cancelled as previously communicated .
Senior cricket and training
Fixtures cancelled for the first two weeks are likely to be rearranged, we don’`’t have specific details as yet but this will be discussed on April 24th at a League meeting.
All other fixtures will currently follow the calendar so the first team will host Rawtenstall on Sunday 28th and the thirds will host Rishton on Saturday 27th – subject of course to the weather and our ability to get the ground ready!!
Senior training has been taking place indoors at PA Cricket on Tuesdays and Thursdays, this will continue in the interim, certainly including next Tuesday 16th subject to availability.
We will provide an update on when the ground is fit for senior practice and net training however right now it is not possible to use the ground in any capacity.
Players should liaise with their senior team captains or age group managers if still in any doubt on the short term plans.
Obviously we need a sustained spell of dry and warmer weather in order to both let the ground clear up and also get on it to conduct the work desperately needed to get ready to play.
We don`t like having to ask people not to come on the ground and we absolutely don`t like seeing matches cancelled however I am sure you will all understand we cant control the weather. The action taken by the League is sensible and at least allows a 2 week period to try and recover lost time.
Thanks as always for your continued support and we look forward to having some exciting cricket to watch in the coming weeks.
Prizes to be won every month for just £5. The more members the higher the pool and 50% of the monthly take goes back in prize money.

Jacques Snyman had the most memorable summer in his first season at Greenmount last year.
Despite rain wiping out no less than seven league fixtures he amassed 1500 runs with an average of over 100 and took 50 wickets to cap a complete all round outstanding contribution.
Jacques Snyman
Jacques played a lead role in our T20 Cup win highlighted by an unbelievable unbeaten 160 at Norden to win the game against all odds and of course crashed an unforgettable unbeaten 268 against Accrington in the league peppered with no less than 18 sixes.
On top of all this he was a constant presence at the club either encouraging the third team, supporting junior games or conducting coaching and is a general all round top chap!
John Stevens caught up with Jacques for a chat ahead of the new season.
JJS: Hi Jacques, the new season is approaching fast and we are looking forward to seeing you and your family soon. Tell us a bit about what’s been happening while you’ve been at home, the season with Knights started amazingly…
JACQUES: Hi John yeah everything has been going well thanks, family all well and we are enjoying the summer here in SA, but obviously still looking forward to our return to Greenmount and the cold weather!! The season with Knights started really positively, especially the one day competition and I got a few decent scores, the four day stuff was a bit stop/start with injury and I would have loved to do better – but lots of great experience and lessons learned playing with Knights.
JJS: And then the momentum was interrupted by injury, tell us what happened, how are you now ?
JACQUES: Yes I had a nasty blow to the head from a ball which just reared off a length and unfortunately suffered from nasty concussion which led to being side-lined for six weeks. Thanks to everyone at the club who were asking after me, it was a frustrating time and I don`t like being unable to play. But I am fully recovered now and have had a couple of good knocks since coming back so I am in a good mental space.
JJS: Following your return to action there was a great experience with Pretoria Capitals, tell us about that – who were your favourite players in the tournament?
JACQUES: Oh wow yes, Pretoria Capitals was an amazing experience and such a special ‘dream come true‘ moment for me. It is fantastic just being around so many top level players and it is fascinating to observe how they go about their day to day business and of course look to pick up good practices. Its obviously very hard to pick out individuals when you are surrounded by genuine star quality but I really loved the way Will Jacks played and expressed himself. He showed no fear of failure and also Heinrich Klaasen was outstanding in a tournament packed with many individual high quality efforts. I will say I loved every second of the competition, being involved and around such a brilliant team and franchise like Pretoria Capitals was a real privilege.
JJS: Looking back on your first season with Greenmount you won many admirers with your hard hitting performances, what are your thoughts about last year and the season ahead ?
John Stevens (Head of Cricket), club chairman Andy Skinner and Jacques celebrate the club’s T20 triumph last summer
JACQUES: I absolutely love the place John, it just felt right from the very moment we started talking about the club’s project, goals and culture. I still remember the first time we stepped out onto the ground and I just thought yes this is going to be great! Obviously it was a great team effort to win the T20 Cup and it is nice to have a trophy to show for a hard fought campaign. I think we showed everyone what we are about and probably surprised a few top division teams on the way but clearly it was a real disappointment not to achieve promotion. We go again with the same goal this year, there`s some experienced talent joining the group and we have some top young blood emerging through the ranks so we want to be right up there challenging to get up. I am looking forward to meeting new team mates but also hooking up with the group from last year, I made so many good friends at the club and it holds a very special place in my heart. So I will be doing everything I can to help improve our fortunes!
JJS: The league will be stronger than ever this year, who do you see as the challengers?
JACQUES: the Lancashire League is a great competition and I feel that the standards in Division Two demonstrate the strength of the overall product. I think it will be tough competitive cricket once again this year and we will have to be at our very best when you look at the teams fighting to go up. I am sure that Ramsbottom and Walsden will not take relegation lying down, they will come out hard and show why they were in that top division and will be very keen to get back up there. It will be hard cricket and we will obviously want to challenge – I expect to see Crompton up there again too but there are some very good teams all of whom can create problems, some outstanding professionals so we are well set for another exciting summer.
JJS: There’s a big birthday celebration this summer for you. If you look back at the past ten years what’s been your most memorable moments?
JACQUES: I cant think of being in a better place to celebrate this milestone John! And now am looking forward to seeing the refurbished lounge too. Most memorable moments, that’s a tough one but I have got to say getting married to Erin is the number one, having our first little one Leyah, my Proteas debut, fastest first class century, and then of course the 268 not out here last year in front of a big crowd, that was great fun! And getting my first franchise contract with Pretoria Capitals was special as I`ve said. Oh, and yes the T20 Finals Day – our first trophy in the Lancashire League period for the club, beating top division teams, it was massively special, perhaps the evening part is why I cant remember so much of it as some of the others (laughs)
JJS: And looking forward what are your career plans for the next 3-5 years now ?
JACQUES: Obviously I want to end this domestic season on a high, that‘s my main short term goal as I want the Knights to get back to where we belong in the first division. Then I want to secure another contract with them for next season and of course come and help Greenmount achieve promotion, the goals of Knights and Greenmount are very similar. Then next winter I really want to get back into the franchise season and try to make an impact in the SA20 from the start. I am really keen to do well and attract the national selectors again and of course like many modern players I want to try and get into competitions all around the world. But for this season my focus is on Greenmount and helping to raise the standards throughout the club especially the younger emerging players.
JJS – turning to the international scene where next for England after their Indian tour?
JACQUES: It’s been a series of ups and downs for England this time but I think they will learn and we will see an aggressive approach against Pakistan. Playing in India is always tough, there have been some great individual performances and many moments where the team had the upper hand but India are relentless and the talent runs very deep, just too strong in their own back yard. I am sure England will bank the learnings, it’s not a crisis, those guys will come back stronger and harder for sure.
JJS: Is Bazball an over-played term? What does it mean for you?
JACQUES: This is a mindset thing about taking the game forward and playing positively without fear. Maybe shot selection and respect for good balls could come into play more but I just love the positive approach, there is no blame and no moaning, they back themselves and each other – and get on with it.
JJS: We can’t wait to see you on Friday, 12th April, our new main sponsor friends from Mercedes Benz in Whitefield are looking forward to it too. How do you see progress at the club in the six months you’ve been away?
JACQUES: I cant believe just how much has happened and how many more improvements have been made in the short time I have been away! You guys definitely don’t stand still and there seems to be an even greater buzz about the club. The new nets look amazing, hybrid pitches just installed, new kitchen, new look function room and now new sponsors and kit, the club is really pushing forward on all fronts – we‘ve not sat back on last year’s developments, it is becoming an even better place to play and watch cricket and just have a great time. I think Mercedes Benz is a great fit for Greenmount and I am looking forward to meeting the team there and helping the partnership to be a success.
Thanks for having us back again this season, we are all super excited to be back and are really looking forward to being part of this fantastic club once again. We are looking forward to an amazing summer and I hope all our supporters get behind us fighting for promotion and playing and exciting brand of cricket .
JJS: Thanks very much Jacques, just four weeks to go now, hopefully the weather will warm up and we look forward to seeing you very soon!
And you can welcome Jacques back to Greenmount on Friday 12th April, more details to follow nearer the time.
Jacques hopes to build on last season’s T20 success with promotion to Lancashire League Division One
Although the weather might not appear massively appealing for stopping a rasping cover drive there are just four weeks to go until the start of the JW Lees Lancashire Cricket League season on Sunday 14th April.
There`s been a lot going on behind the scenes to prepare for the new season so here is some information to bring you all up to speed with developments and provide you with some key diary dates for the next six to eight weeks, hopefully covering your questions along the way!
What is the state of the ground and will there be a Ground Force day before the season?
Although the ground looks in great condition if you are passing on the road the truth is that it is unsurprisingly very soft underfoot. Too soft to bring heavy machinery on to the ground just yet for certain key pre season tasks.
This does mean that any dates quoted for activities ahead of the season start are provisional and will remain subject to ground conditions and our assessment of fitness to allow access to the playing area – but let’s be optimistic and plan for the weather to be mild and dry so that we can get some dates outlined as a framework plan!
There are no plans to hold a Ground Force day this year, Andy Skinner and the team are making good progress on general preparatory tasks and we have agreed that less ‘boots on the ground’ is the best approach while everything is so soft.
I’m hearing we have had hybrid pitches installed, what does that mean?
The installation of two hybrid pitches is a measure of further investment in improving the broader cricket playing facilities at the club.
We believe that this initiative keeps us at the forefront of quality in the local area. Hybrid pitches should offer us more flexibility and take some pressure off the square in terms of pitch availability but they are not to be confused with artificial surfaces and so will need a period to ‘bed in’. The location of the pitches will mean that they are used mainly by our senior teams.
We also have invested in quality brand new nets, will there be an official opening and how soon can I get in them to practice?
The new two bay nets were installed just before Christmas and are another demonstration of our commitment to improve the quality of cricket facilities. There is no planned ‘official opening’ some may recall that Phil Neville opened the previous nets back in 2015. The provisional first date for senior practice when we plan to use the nets for the first time is Thursday 4th April subject to the weather and ground condition. Thereafter we plan to hold senior training twice weekly on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6pm.
Have we got any pre season friendlies or activities?
The first team have an away date with Oulton Park CC on Saturday 13th April.
In addition we plan to hold an intra squad training afternoon at Greenmount on Sunday 7th April, once again subject to ground conditions.
When does junior practice start?
The plan is to commence junior practice on Friday 19th April for under-9 through to under-16, the official Junior League season starts w/c 22nd April.
The All Stars programme does not start until Friday 10th May.
Once again we will offer under 9, 11, 13 and 15 age groups with teams entered in appropriate leagues.
When does our professional arrive ?
Jacques Snyman will arrive from South Africa on Friday 12th April. We are hoping he will be available to attend a promotional event with our new sponsors in the evening. Jacques is keen to offer one-to-one coaching to any young aspiring players throughout the summer. An interview with Jacques will be published in the coming week so you can catch up with what he has been up to recently.
We have new sponsors?
We are delighted to announce that Mercedes Benz of Whitefield have kindly agreed to become the official main club sponsor and will feature on all our playing shirts. Watch out for a separate feature on this exciting new partnership in the coming weeks plus a series of promotional events through the season. Thanks to our previous main shirt sponsors GHW Solicitors for their long period of support over the years.
We have new kit too ?
We have undertaken a complete refresh of all kits from general whites through to T20 and junior kits along with a brand new range of training and leisurewear. All available from Ian Senior at SK Kits either in his store in Market Street, Tottington or in person at the club.
Have we got any new players, any update on the ‘transfer merry-go-round’?
We have brought more new players to the club during the winter than in the past two seasons combined! The first team needed a spin bowler and a keeper so we welcome the vastly experienced Amal Dalugoda from Heaton CC and Jack Hallows from Rawtenstall CC to the club.
In addition Gav Nicholl has joined us from Woodbank CC, Toby Ashworth from Ramsbottom CC and Toby Leach from Vernon Carus CC. We wish all our new players every success and enjoyment with the club, welcome on board. Just for added interest, Amal has been recently selected to join the England Over 50s squad!
On the flip side we are sorry to say farewell to three home grown players as Evan Williams, Ryan Senior and Matthew Senior all depart. Congratulations to Evan who leaves us for an amazing opportunity as professional at Kendal CC which will undoubtedly bring opportunities to represent Cumbria again. We are very proud to see home grown players earn such success albeit it is of course a shame to see him move on. I am sure we will see plenty of all three lads in the summer.
It is also sad to see the departure of Rebecca Senior after 12 years’ experience of scoring, my thanks for such fantastic commitment. We are extremely grateful to Tracey Brooks, Stephen Merry and John Egan for stepping up into the First team fixture programme to offer their top level scoring experience.
When is the first match at home?
The Second team will kick off play at the Mount on Sunday 14th April versus Crompton swiftly followed the next week with the local derby clash of the first team against Ramsbottom!
The Third team start away at Church on Saturday 20th April and will be at home for the first time on Saturday 27th April against Rishton
When does T20 start ?
First team skipper Travis Townsend
We begin the defence of the T20 cup on Friday 24th May away at Todmorden. The first home Friday night game is against Norden on Friday 31st May
Where can I get further information?
Follow us online for up to date news, reports and announcements throughout the summer. Meantime don’t hesitate to contact members of the cricket leadership group.
Travis Townsend will captain the first team, Oliver Dixon and Mark Crowther continue as second and third team captains respectively. Leigh Dickinson continues as junior lead. Wishing you all a fun and enjoyable season
The Under-9s 2024 season got underway last Sunday when they entered the Bury Cricket Indoor Tournament at Castle Leisure Centre.
The team, which included: Tom Herbert, Archie Kerr, Seth Duerden, Oli Gardner, Woody Hallows, Jack Stewart and Tom Heap, were placed in the group stages with Walshaw, Tottington St John’s, Stand and Ramsbottom.
They went on to win three of their four group games, including a last ball thriller against local rivals Ramsbottom.
Runner-up in the group stage meant a play-off game for third place in which they defeated Elton.
Third place out of ten teams – and with three players aged 7 or under – was an excellent effort and fully deserved.
All the players performed really well individually and as a team to help the club finish one place better than last season.
Congratulations to Stand CC who took the trophy and thanks to all parents for their support.
