Greenwood Trophy 2019 – beaten by the weather!

With the cancellation of the Greenwood Trophy at Albert Park last night the weather proved the only winner this week. All three cup finals move on to next week at the same time at the same venues.

Here’s hoping for better weather.

McCulloch Cup final 2019 – another wash out!!

Last night’s McCulloch Cup final at Glenpark between Tunnock’s Uddingston and Ferguslie  was hit by the poor weather. Not one ball was bowled. Both teams will try again next Wednesday.

The Greenwood Trophy Final between Victoria and Dean Park is scheduled for 6pm at Albert Park tonight. Let’s hope we get this one on!!

Western Cup Final 2019 – new date: Tuesday, 6 August 2019, Titwood, 6pm

Tonight’s McCulloch Cup final between Uddingston and  Ferguslie is still  scheduled to go ahead at 6pm tonight at Glenpark in Greenock. Come along and enjoy the final of one of the WDCU’s premier cup competitions.

New practice facilities at Hillhead CC!

Training will never be the same again as Hillhead CC opened their brand new practice nets last night .  The net facility was opened by Tony Brian, Chair of Cricket Scotland, and welcomed by a group of playing members both old and young! Good luck to Hillhead with their new facility and here’s hoping it is extremely well used!
