Last game of the season today and Lowerhouse play Burnley, hasn’t turned out to be the finale most expected and Lowerhouse go in to it out of form.

Darwen 1sts and 2nds win and they win both of their respective leagues, however if they slip up and Burnley win either their games against Lowerhouse, they win their league.
Norden are a good side on their day.

Clitheroe could also sneak it.

I hope the weather stays nice and it goes to the wire, Lowerhouse seem to have had Burnley’s number in league cricket over the past few years but I’m not as confident today, hoping to see Shapcott crying into his pint later, I know you read the board Ken so I’ll happily buy it for you

Just hope the weather doesn't ruin it this afternoon and all games get a proper result.

Exciting finish for the league.

Good luck Burnley. Bring that title back to the area.

I will be going to Farnworth to watch Padiham in the cup final for the 2nd attempt.
Praying the heat wave can last another 12 hours or so.

Ahhh today is the day Lowerhouse face the humiliation of possibly allowing their sworn enemies to lift the title on their own patch.

I doubt you will see Shapcott today. It's a few days since I had any news but he was in hospital then and wasn't at all well. Whether the local derby has perked him up enough to be there today remains to be seen.

Whatever happens today, hopefully the rain will stay away and it will be decided on the pitch. Of course I want Burnley to win the league but I don't think they could be going anywhere tougher than the West End for the final game of the season.

Have the House cut the ticket allocation to Burnley supporters ?

Ah, sorry to hear that, hopefully he’s on the mend

No one is mentioning Littleborough!! There is a scenario whereby we can win it. But it will mean Burnley and Darwen both losing with no points and us beating Clitheroe. Just hope the weather isn't the winner!

Or Clitheroe themselves who are currently third with three points more than Littleborough.

These four are the only teams that can win the league.

Clitheroe off to a shocker in their tie. 13/4.

Lowerhouse 65-2

StayingDown4Ever · Post by **StayingDown4Ever** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 2:19 pm

The live stream at Lowerhouse is an absolute disgrace.

Darwen haven’t bowled out Norden and Burnley won’t bowl out Lowerhouse so Darwen will just need to win. They are chasing 198.

Be a tough ask now, currently 186/7 with 3 left

Is that another way of saying "It's a shame that their attempt to provide a free international feed isn't working as well as it might?

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:07 pm

Amazing that Norden and House get same scores.

dsr · Post by **dsr** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:23 pm

Odd one at Nelson. Nelson made 154/9, innings closed, with Tariq listed at 11 but didn't bat. Anyone know why?

Ah, I thought you were well into your cricket and a big Burnley fan so assumed you’d have headed over to watch that one with it possibly being a title winning game.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:47 pm

Revised total of 187 of 44 fir Darwen. Currently 13/1.

Rarely go now, been to one game this year but only because a few of us were going.

I'm watching England on TV.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 5:20 pm

Darwen are 27/4 from 12 overs needing a further 160 from 32 overs. Burnley are 30/0 from 5 overs.

A long way to go yet.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 5:34 pm

Burnley 40 odd for 1 off 8. Decent star. Darwen struggling. Starting to look interesting

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 5:58 pm

Both off for rain. DLS looks as if it is going to be the decision maker.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:00 pm

How many overs do you need in the second innings for a game?

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:05 pm

Need 20 overs for a game.

I was going to give updates but ive not been able to post from the ground. Kept saying ip blocked..spam haus preventing me.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:08 pm

Darwen back on 36/6

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:11 pm

Seems to have virtually stopped raining here but the way things are going at Norden, it looks as though a no result could win Burnley the title. I hope not though.

Think it would sum the season up and be an appropriate ending. Been a poor season weather wise and many games that did get a result have been rain affected.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:16 pm

Look to be going back on at Lowerhouse from the stream.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:21 pm

Flicked back on and it appears the rain is back.

Mondsley · Post by **Mondsley** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:23 pm

I'm following this from Canada so LL website may not be up to date. But, at the moment, Littleborough need 23 off 15 overs with 7 wickets left to beat Clitheroe. If Burnley don't bat 20 overs the Boro sneak in. It's the miracle of Medina all over again

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:24 pm

Revised score for Burnley, now require 151 from 32 and are currently 71/1 from 12. That’s 80 from 20 overs.

Not back on though.

bfcmik · Post by **bfcmik** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:26 pm

71/1 off 12.
Pretorious went for 30 off his 3 overs to date!

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:26 pm

Back off at Norden ten balls short of a result
