CAPTAIN WHITTAKER RETURNS 🫡

We’re delighted to announce that Jake Whittaker will return as Edgworth CC 2nd XI Captain for a second consecutive season.

Jake has led the 2nd XI through a remarkable period of success, taking the side all the way to Division 2, the highest division the club’s 2nd XI has ever competed in, where they now regularly come up against 1st XIs from across the league.

His record with the 2nd XI speaks for itself:

1x Promotion 🏆
1x T20 Cup Winner 🏆
1x League Cup Finalist 🥈
247 wickets in just 3 seasons at Edgworth 🤯

Jake’s leadership, competitiveness and performances have played a huge part in establishing the 2nd XI at the highest level in the club’s history.

Now entering his second season as captain, Captain Whittaker is back, and there’s plenty more to come. 🏏

It’s been another memorable and milestone season for our young and very talented Women’s 1st XI. Double title champions in the 40 over and T20 LCF leagues. Worthy finalists in the Lancashire Knock Out Cup. Plus a second year of great experience gathered from within the prestigious Thunder Cup competition.

We’re so very proud of every player and thanks from our hearts to the coaches, club and supporters who’ve seen us through the season! 🏆 🏆

💙🏏 FIRST TEAM CAPTAINCY ANNOUNCEMENT 🏏💙

After five seasons of leading the Edgworth 1st XI on and off the field, we can confirm that Ally Dickson will step down from the First Team captaincy, with Brad Yates taking over the role.

We want to place on record our huge thanks to Ally for his contributions as captain. Over five seasons, Ally has helped drive the club to great success and played a huge part in establishing Edgworth as one of the leading Premier League clubs.

His fiercely competitive nature, ambition and desire to win have driven the highest standards from those around him, and his leadership has helped shape the culture and expectations of our First XI.

We’re delighted, however, that Ally will remain heavily involved with the club in his role as Cricket Manager. He will work closely with Brad, as well as our other team captains, to continue driving standards, supporting our players and helping take Edgworth Cricket Club forward across all of our senior and junior teams.

We’re equally delighted that Brad Yates will now take on the First Team captaincy.

Brad joined Edgworth last season and has fitted into the club incredibly well from day one. He has quickly become an important part of the group and we feel he is perfectly placed to take the First XI forward.

We’re excited to see what this next chapter brings and believe the combination of Brad’s leadership and Ally’s continued involvement will put the club in a fantastic position for the future.

A huge thank you to Ally for everything he has given as captain and best of luck to Brad in his new role! 💙

💙🏏 THANK YOU, JAMES 🏏💙

There are some people who do far more for a cricket club than ever gets seen, and James Lea is certainly one of them.

As our Cricket Chairman, James continues to give an incredible amount of his time, energy and commitment to Edgworth CC. From the work behind the scenes to supporting our players, coaches and teams, his contribution to the club is immeasurable.

The last few seasons have brought their fair share of challenges, but James has consistently been there pushing the club forward, making things happen and always putting Edgworth CC first.

His passion for the club, determination to improve it and remarkable commitment to everyone involved deserves huge recognition. 👏

We’re incredibly lucky to have you leading the cricket club, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.
So, from everyone at Edgworth CC…

THANK YOU, JAMES. 💙

💙🏏 THANK YOU, JOE 🏏💙

After five fantastic seasons, we say goodbye to Joe Smith-Butler as he departs Edgworth CC.

What a player. What a batter. And what a record. 👏

Joe has been one of the most prolific run-scorers to pull on an Edgworth shirt, producing countless match-winning innings and consistently leading the way at the top of the order.

To be regarded as one of the leading run scorers in the history of the GMCL is a remarkable achievement, and it’s something Joe can be incredibly proud of as we are to say he represented us for so long 🏏🔥

But beyond the runs, Joe has been a fantastic teammate and a huge part of the club over the last five seasons. He leaves with plenty of memories, friendships and a lasting legacy at the club.

Thank you for everything, Joe. Your contribution to Edgworth CC will not be forgotten, and you’ll always have a place here.

All the best for the next chapter! 💙

💙👑 FARWELL TO THE KING OF EDGWORTH 👑💙

After four incredible seasons, we say goodbye to Adnan as he departs Edgworth CC.

What a player, and what a servant to the club. His incredible bowling efforts have produced countless wickets, match-winning spells and memories that will stay with us for years to come. 🎯🏏

But beyond the wickets and performances, Adnan has been a huge part of the Edgworth family and will always hold a special place at the club.

Four seasons and countless memories.
