Official page of Brooksbottom Cricket Club. Based in Summerseat, three senior teams playing in GMCL. GMCL Premier League 2. Junior boys and girls U7 to U15.
A big moment for
@BroxCC
our first ever open age women’s and girls game. Olivia and Beth were our first girls playing mixed cricket as u9s, they opened the batting and bowling today! Star for the day was Ruby S carrying her bat through the innings and scoring the winning runs
Over the weekend all at the club were saddened to learn of the passing of Mike Bailey's long time partner Jane. Mike has played for many years at Brox and Jane was always a friendly face around the club. On Sunday Mike's close friend Derek Case arranged for both ourselves... 1/2
My local cricket club has sorted this for my Dad. Incredibly touched. Sat down with him and had a pint this afternoon. Emotional, yet comforting.
There are still some good people left in the world.
📝 Brooksbottom CC are pleased to announce that our professional for 2024 will be Mohsan Iqbal. Mohsan has played with us since 2013 and in that time has amassed 4065 runs including 16 fifties and 5 hundreds. He has also taken 476 wickets with a best of 9/8 and 34 5 wicket hauls.
As another season draws to a close, we’d like to say a massive thank you to
@burycc
and
@WoodbankCC
for their kind help in providing loan players on weekends we have struggled with numbers.
Despite a loss for the side today special mention for
@olivia_thomas35
on her 1st team debut with 3-12 off 4 overs. Brilliant to see another great
@LancsCricketWMN
talent in our senior side
Not long now until Boxing Day cricket is back at Brooksbottom as we take on

@GtrMcrCricket
support down on the day 🎅🏻🎄🏏
We will be hosting this years Boxing Day cricket match against
@TottySports
as their pitch transformation continues. As well as the cricket we'll have all the usual festive fun, food and drink 🎄🎅🏻🍷🍻🎁
Thanks to all the helpers, players and supporters who attended the Sunday Fun Day today. Without your support the day wouldn’t have been such a big success. 3 close games, big 6s, great catches, awful drops, comedy run outs and one bloke running into a sight screen.
Condolences from all at Brooksbottom at the sad passing yesterday of Peter Allen, who played for both
@burycc
and
@TottySports
. Our thoughts are with Peter’s family.
All at Brooksbottom CC are sorry to hear of the passing of Frances Harris. Frances was always very good to us whilst we were members of the MDCA and we have fond memories of her visiting the club. RIP Frances.
Seasons greetings from Brooksbottom CC. Only 10 days to go until the return of Boxing Day cricket. We would love to see plenty of supporters down on the day to support Brox and
@TottySports
. Game starts at 11am. Please share and RT to spread the word 🏏❄️⛄️
Now that the 2019 season is over Brox would like to place on record our thanks to this years overseas players Ollie Laker and Sam Emberton. Both were not only assets on the field but also off it with helping out on the ground and training our junior cricketers. Thanks lads.
Brooksbottom Cricket Club are pleased to announce the re opening of our newly refurbished club house and Bar on the 4th July from 12pm.
With our priority being the safety of all our visitors we are implementing the…

@ShawCricketClub
and
@BroxCC
who are both guarenteed to finish in the top 3 in the Championship after today's results. Congratulations to both!
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Fred Mitchell after a good innings of 89. Fred has been our official club umpire during the early 1990’s and our thoughts are with his family, in particular his son Andrew who remains a keen supporter of the club.
A message from the Chairman Richard Ernill to end the year: A massive thank you to all sponsors and everyone who worked behind the scenes in making 2017 a successful year. Best wishes for 2018.
A fun day of girls cricket v
@Greenfield_C_C
yesterday with both u13s and u15s. Almost 40 girls playing a good standard of cricket, until just being beaten by the rain in the second game. Imogen taking 4 wkts in 4 balls (quad trick?) and Helen’s hot dogs And pizza the high points
A few more pictures from yesterday's working party. Thank you to the 21 players, parents, volunteers and members who came to help. We will be doing our final working party before the new season on Saturday 16 March if anyone would like to lend a hand

Thanks to Northern Star and Leigh
@LDifa
for the continued support of the junior boys and girls at Brooksbottom CC. We couldn’t be doing this for all these boys and girls without your help.
Two great role models making their first of many future TV appearances tonight in a cricket shirt. Be proud Ella and Neve. If only you’d added “yes we opened the batting together at Saddleworth yesterday and scored 43/0 off the first 4 overs”. Well done girls, be proud.
Yesterday we lost a true gentleman as we learnt of the passing of Brian Carpendale.
As part of the club for 62 years, we can honestly say we will all miss you and ECC won't be the same without you.
Our thoughts are with his wife Ethel and the rest of the family.
Summerseat's favourite postman, Postman Paul will shortly be enjoying his well earned retirement and so we will be having an open house on 1st April. Food will be available to buy from 4pm and Paul would love to see plenty of Summerseat residents for a farewell drink
