Under 18s - Weds 13th August 2008

Westhoughton under 18s drew with Walkden (offcial result)

With slim chances of a game due to a poor forecast for tomorrow (Thurs 14th August) both captains agreed a 20/20 game on Wednesday 13th August. Conditions were bad (as some players found out 1st hand) but could have been worse)

The home side batted first and posted 104 in 16 overs (after the number of overs was reduced to to fears of bad light when Westhoughton would be batting) thanks to wickets from each bowler, Danny Naylor, Rob Brown, Kieran Edwards and Adam Heaton. Naylor and Brown both got 1 wicket while the other figures were: Edwards 2 for 15, Heaton 2 for 33.

Chasing down the total Danny Naylor and Adam Radcliffe got the side off to a good start which could have been very different after Naylor was given out by Walkdens umpire only for his own team to tell him that he had got the run out decision incorrect. Later Rob Brown came in and helped get the side towards the line before Kieran Edwards and Matthew Trow finished unbeaten and led the side to a win on the night but a draw in the record books. Naylor 37, Radcliffe 27, Brown 31, Edwards 5* and Trow 0*

1st Team lose out in Semi-Final.
In what was a very tense Hamer Cup Semi Final Westhoughton 1st team came close to beating Walkden but in the end they fell short in the last over. It was a very tight finish and it could have gone either way. It was a great effort by the lads and we should be proud of the effort that got us this far. Thank you to all Westhoughton fans for their support on one or both days.

Dwayne Smith


  Westhoughton Pro Joins Sussex.
Westhoughton's bad luck with Pros continues for the third year running as Dwayne Smith has been signed by County side Sussex. The club would like to wish Dwayne all the best in his new venture but sympathy goes to the club as the pro curse continues. This run was started in 2006 when Rayed Emrit was called back to Trinidad having played only a hand full of games and then last year Alcindo Holder was signed but couldn't come over for the start of the season following a domestic incident.

Dwayn Smith returns to the Tyldesleys
Dwayne Smith

is hoping to be a big hit again with the Westhoughton faithful.

  DWAYNE RETURNS TO THE TYLDESLEYS!!
Westhoughton Cricket Club have announced the signing of old friend Dwayne Smith as Pro for the coming season. Dwayne will return to the club in time for the first game at Egerton after completing the season in the Jamaican Premier League. The club were about to announce the signing of Sulieman Benn as pro, but this fell through after he won his first cap for the West Indies recently which meant he couldn't come over. This has now paved the way for Dwayne's return which became possible following a conversation with Westhoughton captain Steve Parker who persuaded Dwayne to return to the Tyldesleys. Last time Dwayne was pro here, in 2003, he scored 950 runs and took 57 wickets. This is a massive coup for the club and gives the team an initial confidence boost ahead of the new season. Good luck Dwayne on your return!
