It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce that devoted husband to Jane, and official super dad to Joe and Alice, Mark Kinghorn passed away in his sleep this morning, having fought with wit and vigour against a brain tumour these past 3 years. A Morton legend. RIP Mark.

We support

At 19, I picked up a bat for the first time. I was unhappy & I thought a new hobby would fix that.
The impact this sport has had on my life in the space of the last 3 years in unthinkable. Itโs given me confidence, courage & community.

As itโs the first day of the league season, hereโs a throwback to what we were doing this time last year. Itโs fair to say weโve missed days like today.
This is club cricket. This is growing a junior section.
A 13 year old so eager to help out that he assists the coaching of our wonderful All Stars
This is what itโs all about
The WPL comes to an end for our Womenโs XI.
Not always the results we hoped for, but some brilliant performances and a lot of fun along the way.
Weโll be back next year ๐

We cannot do justice to this man in just one post, or with just one award.
Tom Pickles is the brains and the heartbeat of RHC. No job is too big or small for him, and all with absolutely no fuss.
