In need of a return to winning ways after both sides lost in big cup matches this last week Saturday and Sunday afternoons see the first XI at home with a double header against Woodbank and Flowery Field both starting at 1pm. The Under 13's are also at home at 9.30 on Sunday morning against Flowery Field. As always your support will be greatly appreciated.

STRIKE 1 - an early finish for the First XI as they take out Woodbank for 131 and reach the target with 30 overs to spare.

STRIKE 2 - The second team post 266 with West skipper Gareth Senior in the runs again with 112 and bowled Woodbank out for 118.

STRIKE 3 - The Under 13's win at home against Flowery Field

STRIKE 4 - The First team take 5 points off Flowery Field

STRIKE 5 - No strike that - the seconds failed to pick up any points at Flowery Field

We cant have everything but not a bad weekend lads.

Get ready for next weekends cup final

The top teams play big games every week and this weekend is no exception,

STAGE 1 complete
Wins on Saturday for both teams against Glossop in rain affected games and 8 walkers made the 9+ miles trip to Glossop. The firsts now lie just 4 points behind the leaders and another 5 points for the seconds must see them leap up to the top half of the table. Well done both teams.

STAGE 2 - the wheels come off!
Sunday we spent at Denton St Lawrence. Unfortunately the Under 13s were rained off in the morning.
The walkers began their bonus walk at High Noon from the club for the days big game as the firsts took on DSL for a place in the semi-final of the Lancashire Knockout. Unfortunately it was a bad day at the office despite the usual great support from everyone at the club. DSL were worthy winners on the day and eased into the semi-finals - Good Luck to them from all at West.

There are 40 walkers in total - including some DSL folks - a best ever number - thanks for your fantastic support

We have two big days out over the weekend of 31st July and 1st August.

Firstly on Saturday 31st it is the "Woodhouses Gallon"; The DWCC stalwarts will be walking to Woodhouses from our ground to raise funds for Cancer Research and will be starting from Windsor Park with a "full monty" breakfast and a number of the party will be visiting 8 hostelries along the way (drinking not compulsory). If you wish to take part and have the breakfast please contact Phil Jackson or Chris Mulroy or sign up in the clubhouse or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to register you.
