Zaman joins Milnrow

Milnrow Cricket Club’s junior section has recently been awarded grants from Sport England’s Small Grant Programme and the Co-operative Community Fund.

The money is to be used to fund the cost of coaching courses for volunteer coaches, new equipment, indoor training sessions and has also enabled them to appoint a new head coach.

Tight at the top of table

RYCC and Max XI remain top of the Rochdale Premier League going into the final weekend of action.

A former New Zealand Test player, who made cricket history for Gloucestershire by beating a batting record set by the great Dr WG Grace, is to be Rochdale Cricket Club’s professional in the 2010 season.

Title race gathers pace

THE Rochdale Premier Cricket League is really heating up at the top, a good win for RYCC over Stoney Stars keeping them in top spot on 22 points while Max XI beat Unique to stay second with 20 points.

Experience key to making title thrust

Zane Arthur has urged his former Norden team-mates not to repeat the mistakes of last season which handed the Central Lancashire League title to Monton and Weaste.
