Dear Boris
We are all set and ready to go!!!
Open the pubs so cricket and other sports can take place, we can’t take much more of this 🏏🏏🏏
Yours faithfully
The Whole Cricketing Family x
All at FCC send our love and sincere condolences to Deb and all of Daves family.
A true friend to many at FCC spanning over 40 years. A gentlemen, great cricketer and most importantly one of the nicest blokes you’ll ever wish to meet.
RIP David Tattersall ❤️
The dugouts are finished and fully operational!
Big thank you to those who made this happen, we are sure they’ll be a very popular addition to our facility at bridgeman park for years to come!
Surely a first for league cricket?
Anyone else got dugouts?
A big happy birthday to our gaffer, owner, main man, boss, head honcho and opening bat!!!
Farnworth’s answer to Benjamin Button! Many Happy Returns Martin Axford 🍺
No doubt they’ll be a few drinks sunk later 🎂
Welcome to our new practice facility 🥰
Few little bits to finish off but it looks amazing.
Big thanks to everyone for their hard work, patience and help at

Phenomenal 300 partnership today for the 3rd wicket against Atherton CC. Alex Rodzoch making his first century for the club (127) and Professional Milinda Siriwardana 191 not out.
We’re sure Millis 191 is one of the highest scores by anyone for FCC 🏏🏏
Incredible day 👏🏼👏🏼
Heartfelt condolences to all friends and family of Gareth Olive, a fantastic friend of the club and forged some amazing friendships over many many years. We send our love and best wishes to all at KCC and Gaz’s extended family xx
Sleep tight & RIP Gaz Olive ❤️❤️
He’s been fantastic this year for us, amazing player and great bloke. Noman Ali re-signs to represent us again in the 2019 season. Well done

Ok. Power of social media time!! Some horrible bastard decided to pinch our boundary rope and try to sabotage today’s lko wicket (you have failed miserably for the record)
REWARD FOR ANY INFO PROVIDED!! Please like & retweet

Fantastic news as we start to build the team, club and junior section for 2023.
We’d like to thank Mili for all his efforts and hard work through this season!! A great signing for us!
A big thank you from Martin Axford to everyone who reached to wish him a happy birthday.
The YouTube video we put together was amazing and really struck a cord with Martin 😍
We are incredibly excited to finally announce the signing of our 2022 professional in Milinda Siriwardana (Sri Lanka) Left handed batsmen & left arm spinner. He brings a wealth of experience at international level across all 3 formats, a 1st class captain & coach. Welcome 🏏

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Ryan Senior as the new captain of the 1st xi for the 2024 season, his extensive experience in the local game anticipates an exciting & successful season under his captaincy.
We look forward to 2024 both on and off the field 🏏
We are pleased to welcome Joe Settle to FCC for the 2022 season. No doubt Joe will bring some quality to the batting lineup and in the field. We wish him well 🏏🏏
We are delighted to welcome Chris Evans to FCC for the 2022 season. Chris will bring experience to the batting lineup & backup with the gloves. Chris hasn’t played much due to health & work commitments recently, but joins his father “Alan” who also represented FCC back in 1997 🏏
Our thoughts and prayers to Justine & the lads. The whole league and surrounding area will be a worse off place without him. Fantastic bloke, a pleasure to be around. Love & Best Wishes from all at FCC. RIP Tony ❤️
Tony Haydock 💔💔💔
Yesterday, we lost one of our own. We are devastated and our thoughts are with Justine, Lewis and Marcus during these tough times.
Every club needed a “Tony”. We will continue the good work you started. You never let us down, we do the same for you. T 💔
Just because the club is shut and the world has stopped doesn’t mean our continuous improvements and renovations have!! Our team (following social distancing guidance) is currently renovating the front and side of the club.
We are very pleased to announce that our 2024 cricket section will be headed up by Victor Walcott (Chair) and Lee Sutton (Vice Chair)
Both have a wealth of experience in local league cricket, both been excellent players in their day and will bring some fresh ideas to the club -
He’s back for 2023!!!!
We’ve had a few delays in regards to paperwork and visas but we’re hoping our Professional Milinda Siriwardana will return w/c 24th April…. Welcome back to Bridgeman park…. No doubt his second season will be even better than his first 🔥🔥🏏🏏
Work on the new artificial practice facility started this week. Another huge investment and improvement made to the club for 2021. Excited to see what it does for our crop of junior cricketers..... watch this space!!!
Jon Kerrigan. Great servant to many clubs accross the North West including our own. A hard hitting batsmen who broke the mould when opening the batsmen for FCC a few years back with Ross Sutton. A devastating pairing that gave us many enjoyable moments.
Enjoy your retirement 🏏
We are delighted to welcome the arrival of our new professional this morning for the 2021
