Glossop CC Under 15s Reach Greater Manchester Cricket League Champion of Champions Final
4pm start at Heaton CC, Saturday 21st September.
Glossop CC Under 15s have once again secured their place in the Greater Manchester Cricket League Champions of Champions Final, set for Saturday, 21st September 2024, at Heaton CC.
This final marks the culmination of the season for both sides having reached the final 2 from some 40+ teams in the GMCL.
This is Glossops second consecutive appearance in such a final, having been runners-up in last year’s U13s final. Glossop have again won their regional league and then topped the top divisional performance league without dropping a point. The team will be hoping to go one step further this time and bring home the prestigious trophy. However, they are up against a very strong Heaton CC which remained unbeaten in their relative performance league too.
Key match winning contributions from consistent performers like Olly Boothroyd, Joseph Bolton, and Joe Doody have been vital in both chasing and defending totals. Nathan Allen has provided valuable wickets and runs in big moments, whilst all-rounders Max Mulvey, Jacob Dyson, Alfie Peck and Laurence Riley have been formidable in the bowling attack and supported with crucial runs. The side, led by captain Ben Wilson, who has also excelled with bat and ball, has performed consistently throughout the season with only one loss vs Sandiacre in the Derbyshire County Cup Final. Having lost talented players Lucas Kenyon and Dan Keeley to injury earlier in the year, the Glossop Lions are looking forward to having both boys back in the side. Harry Dyson remains injured though and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Supporting the older players, promising U13 stars Henry Marsh, Lewis Allen and Archie Edgar have made their mark, showing great potential and making notable contributions in games. Their involvement has added depth to the squad and highlights the future strength of Glossop cricket.
With a strong and positive team spirit and the whole club behind them, the side is ready to challenge Heaton CC and hopefully go one further this year. Good luck to the lads!
