1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,000
12 days of house cast Festive 
fun all year Best fits, laughs 

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,600
and legends bringing Christmas 
cheer. 

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,600
So press play and join us. 
You know what? 

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,240
We're about stories, Bantam 
Magic of the house. 

5
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:31,600
Let's shout back for three. 
They stay AT2193 for three. 

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,840
Chris Bleser goes on to 73. 
Charlie Cotton on 71. 

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,320
But that was rather fortuitous 
there, Phil. 

8
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:41,200
Yeah, he went down the track to 
Mushtaqar trying to hit him 

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,560
towards long on. 
He got a leading edge just over 

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,280
the man at short. 
Third man he comes. 

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,960
Mushtaqar again. 
Down the track again is 

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,240
Bleshard. 
It's a better hit, but it's gone

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,160
straight towards Michael Egan. 
They'll get a single move the 

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,080
score to 194 for three, the end 
of Mushta bars, penultimate over

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,280
74 now to Blizzard and 71 to 
Charlie Cotton. 

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:12,280
Yeah, 7 overs remain and not 
targeted. 200 and 3238 runs are 

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,800
required. 
The run rate coming down, it was

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,160
up to 6 1/2, then it was 6, now 
it's below 6. 

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,640
Certainly Law House with 7 
wickets in Ireland surely are 

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,760
now favourites to lift. 
The 2004 was the cup final. 

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Don't want to put the markers on
it, but certainly you're back 

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,720
Law House at this stage. 
It was. 

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,520
It's just getting a little bit 
darker. 

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,440
The lights on in the pavilion 
are very bright to our right 

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,040
hand side. 
I think everybody would 

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,040
certainly want to play to a 
conclusion tonight. 

27
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:44,000
It'd be some night in lower 
house if if they want it. 

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,120
I don't think there'll be much 
beer left in that pavilion to 

29
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,000
our right hand side. 
Yet more field changes. 

30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,320
Just one criticism I've had 
today. 

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,680
I don't think both sides have 
got through their Rovers quick 

32
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,480
enough. 
We've got a a massive crowd. 

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,960
What a what a time and a chance 
to, you know, promote the game. 

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Yeah, I think there's been too 
much swapping and changing a 

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,560
field. 
Yeah, it's great. 

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,320
Getting very frustrated here 
with Paul both. 

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,160
Sides that applies to both 
sides. 

38
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,840
Yeah, you've got to appreciate 
this. 

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,520
It's very tense now and Paul 
Blackledge will want to make one

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,200
or two field planes, but he's 
persevered with Michael Ingham 

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
as he comes into Chris Blairlord
and Chris Blair whips that out 

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,280
in the next side beyond we've 
raised to the bounds of the 

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,880
field, is sprinting down towards
the boundary Rd, but he will not

44
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,560
make it. 
You can hear the crowd's 

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,160
jubilation behind this 
commentary position. 

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,040
Four more runs to the total as 
he edge towards 2 hundred. 198 

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,560
for three. 
Chris Blazard. 

48
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,720
Another splendid shot from him. 
So that 232, of course, is the 

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
target for Law Household. 
Just 30, 34 needed. 

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,320
There's six overs to do it after
this one currently being bowled 

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,000
by Michael Ingham, and we've 
still got 5 deliveries of this. 

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,960
44th overfill. 43rd over. 
Yes, it is the it's the 44th 

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,520
actually Mark, sorry we're 
getting carried away. 

54
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,080
It is the 44th. 
You were right first time Ingham

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,800
just set in his field doesn't 
bowl very often. 

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,200
It must be set desperation 
really, from Paul Blackledge 

57
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,840
when he brought him back onto 
bowl. 

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,960
It certainly was as he comes in.
Maximum another big 8G. 

59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,840
Is he going to go for four runs?
Is he going to bisect both the 

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,320
fielders under the score box? 
No, it's splendid. 

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,960
Splendid bit of field in there. 
Throws it straight to the 

62
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,680
wickets in in mid air. 
Super bit of fielding there down

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,560
by the side screen. 
Certainly saves two runs but 

64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,240
cannot prevent the 200 coming up
here at Liverpool Road as a 

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,440
crowd rally behind their low 
house side. 200 for three. 

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,320
Great bit of fielding from Steve
Dean picked it up and threw it 

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160
in with all one As. 
Michael Lindam again comes in 

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,720
and Chris Blizzard goes for 
another big Is that going to be 

69
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,920
a maximum? 
The No, it's not. 

70
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,880
I just lost the ball, the flat 
of the ball. 

71
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,000
Not surprisingly in the 
gloomier, but a boundary will 

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,600
do. 
The law has 204. 

73
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,880
Chris Blizzard now into the 80s.
Eighty 4 for him. 204 for 371 to

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,200
Charlie Cotton. 
Stand now, amazingly at 130. 24 

75
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,360
between Chris Blazard and 
Charlie Cottam as Ingham comes 

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,640
in against the Blazard. 
Blazard whips up to fine leg and

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,440
in fact it's going to not go to 
the boundary Rd as a field that 

78
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760
comes round and balls it in to 
the wicket keepers. 

79
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,040
Endies collects it safely 
prevents the boundary. 

80
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,560
Just one run to the total. 205 
for three. 

81
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,040
Chris Blazard moves on to 85. 
Charlie Cottam about to face on 

82
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,240
71 and I will think Michael 
Ingham rather disconsolate, goes

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,320
back to that marker is a very, 
very vociferous. 

84
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,920
A supporter, goes back the 
commentary position. 

85
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Ingham into Charlie Cotton. 
Charlie Cotton sweeps it out 

86
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,280
into the lakeside. 
He'll only get a single. 

87
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,840
Finds the fielder on the deep 
long on boundary again. 

88
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:54,600
The throw comes in. 
It's a good one. 

89
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Just one run to the top 206 for 
three Cockamam 7285 to Chris 

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,600
Blazer. 
Will it be a century in the 

91
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,440
World Cup final for Chris 
Blazer? 

92
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,840
Well, I'm sure that will be 
immaterial as long as you win 

93
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,280
this Cup final. 
Michael Ingham in to Chris 

94
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:16,120
Blizzard on 85, not 8. 
He swings at that in the gloom, 

95
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,920
will only get a single. 
In fact, he's gone over the 

96
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,520
boundary 4 calamity disaster for
Haslington, another boundary. 

97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,920
You can hear the matches here at
Liverpool Road. 

98
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,000
There's a. 
Problem there. 

99
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,880
The Fielder just didn't pick. 
That up exactly. 

100
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I don't think Paul Blackledge is
very happy and I think we might 

101
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,840
now have another the word with 
the umpire because the fielder 

102
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:41,000
just didn't pick that up at all.
I think it's same for both 

103
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,240
sides. 
But Aslington are not happy now 

104
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,600
the fielding in this gloom. 
You can understand this 

105
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,200
reasoning as goes towards goes 
towards the umpire, but the 

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,840
umpire will have none of it. 
We will remain here at Liverpool

107
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:58,360
Road, a very, very tense 
situation, 210 for three. 

108
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,040
Even the scoreboard getting 
excited. 

109
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,480
We have to 110. 
Just a reminder, you're 

110
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,880
listening to Cricket Extra Live 
extra if you will. 

111
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,600
It's live coverage, the 2004 
Worsley Cup final. 

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,680
We're extended tonight after 
eight o'clock 95.5 FM only if 

113
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,080
you want Lancashire Blue notes 
with Nick Dow. 

114
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,280
That's on the other FM 
frequencies. 

115
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:23,720
We'll be here until the 
conclusion of this game, and it 

116
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,680
looks like Lower House might be 
winning a trophy after all these

117
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,640
years. 
Yes, and that's the way it's 

118
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,560
looking like we're going to see 
the conclusion of Asif Mustafar 

119
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,000
in his 10th over and he comes in
a 3-4 paces to Charlie cut him 

120
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,280
as it will that go all the way 
to the boundary. 2 fields in hot

121
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,040
pursuit. 
One who races down to the 

122
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,480
boundary will prevent it and it 
will cut off two runs. 

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Two runs though to the total 
212. 

124
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,480
Cotton goes on to 74. 
Chris Blazard remains on 8585, 

125
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,280
not out. 
It's 89 I think Mark the 

126
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:03,720
scoreboard just tilted towards. 
The moment the board 112 for 

127
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,200
three and five balls will remain
after this as much of all comes 

128
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,640
in more runs for cotton. 
Will that go to bound? 

129
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,400
Oh, you can hear the cheers. 
A magnificent job. 

130
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,200
They really have the upper hand 
here as in fact some of the 

131
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,040
crowd are on the pitch 
celebrating. 

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720
It's early doors yet, but it's a
four. 

133
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,200
The Charlie cut him splendidly 
through long on off the ball in 

134
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,520
the passive. 
Must have 216 for three. 

135
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Just 16 runs from victory. 
Must have boring to cut him. 

136
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,600
Think about the single. 
They'd be very wise or unwise to

137
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,360
make it. 
And the score remains on 216 for

138
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,120
three fill. 
It's absolutely manicure. 

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,520
I hope you're hearing us loud 
and clear because I've never 

140
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,320
seen such an energetic vocal 
crowd. 

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,760
As Mustafar comes in again 
they'll try and eke out to run 

142
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,120
but it's another dot ball. 
Another good delivery from 

143
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,000
Mustafar but lower house have 
the the run rate in this over. 

144
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,840
They don't need to do anything 
silly here, just play out this 

145
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,440
final over from Ashif Mustafar. 
The as an unprofessional. 

146
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840
As Mustafar comes in again to 
Shorty, Cotton tries to Pierce 

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,200
the mid wicket position 
unsuccessful. 

148
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,760
Another dot ball goes in the 
book and Mustafar. 

149
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,280
The ball will return to his 
bowling mark. 216 for 3/5. 

150
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,720
Holes remain after this one, 
currently being bowled by 

151
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,840
mustard ball. 
He's into cotton, he'll swing 

152
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,400
that out. 
It goes all the way to the 

153
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,040
boundary. 
A smashing shot by Charlie 

154
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,280
Cotton, A short delivery of Port
delivery by Mr Barr. 

155
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,120
He took full advantage, did 
Cotton, he raised to the 

156
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,640
boundary and their score goes up
to 220 for three. 

157
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,559
We are seeing history here at 
Law House Cricket Club. 

158
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,799
It's looking like a first trophy
in 142 years for Law House 

159
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,080
Cricket Club. 
Just twelve runs remaining. 5 

160
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,520
overs remain for Law House. 
The run rate is immaterial but 

161
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Blesard and Cotton just have to 
stay there now to see this one 

162
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:55,680
through. 
Phil. 

163
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Unfortunately the umpires are 
meeting. 

164
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,640
It would be maybe a bit wrong to
go off at this stage, just five 

165
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920
overs needed, but I stress the 
Aslinden lads are not happy at 

166
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,120
all. 
They're struggling to pick the 

167
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,840
ball up in the field. 
The umpires are meeting again 

168
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,160
and they're going to continue. 
They're going to continue. 

169
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120
I don't think Aslinden will be 
happy with that. 

170
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Steve Dearden's coming into the 
attack, and it won't be easy to 

171
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,880
see Steve Dearden in this light.
Well, I think you've also got to

172
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,720
see the flip side of the coin. 
Filler with 5 overs remaining, 

173
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,400
only 12 required. 7 wickets 
remaining. 

174
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:34,720
Is the light such a factor now? 
I think if it was in poor light,

175
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,240
if it was in bright light, I 
don't think it would make any 

176
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,040
difference. 
I think you have to say 

177
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,160
Haslingdon. 
Oh no. 

178
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,440
Down and out, one would think, 
with five overs to go and only 

179
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,360
12 required. 
You're never knowing cricket as 

180
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,440
Dearden comes in to Blazard, 
hooks this high into the sky. 

181
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,800
Could be out here. 
I feel the trying to get under 

182
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,160
it. 
He survived it, skied it, gets a

183
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:59,440
single 221 for three Blizzard on
to 90 bouncer. 

184
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,440
I think Deardon was trying to 
test him in the line. 

185
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,680
That's right, 221 for 311 
required. 

186
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,400
Woodcrest Blizzard get the 
magical three figures it seems. 

187
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,080
Well, quite immaterial in 
relation to a first trophy in 

188
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,720
142 years for lower houses. 
Deans in to well hey Charlie 

189
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Cotton, he'll have a swatter 
that will the umpire single a 

190
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,800
vice practise single to buy 
another extra. 

191
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,240
Yeah, wide. 
Yeah, he's given it as a wide, I

192
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,760
think. 
Quite rightly so. 

193
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,800
I think the thing was there, 
he'd already bowled around Sir, 

194
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,720
and he bowled a second one and I
think that's the umpire just 

195
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,240
signalling that's a noble. 
We can't do that. 

196
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,920
It's all the twos. 222 for 3/10 
required as the ball comes in 

197
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,160
Steve Dearden to Charlie Cotton.
Bottoms got it away, tied into 

198
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,000
the air. 
He'll. 

199
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Be out here. 
Great catch. 

200
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,600
It's a. 
Fantastic Allan Allan Howarth 

201
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,200
with a great catch. 
By I think it was running round 

202
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,000
from the boundary, he squatted 
it over the point position and 

203
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,280
Alan Howard sprinting must be 20
yards round the boundary edge 

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,080
outstretched inches off the deck
to take a superb catch. 

205
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,680
Charlie Cotton goes for a think 
I'm not quite sure what about 82

206
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:15,000
superb innings, 222 for 4A 
partnership from 70 for three. 

207
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,120
It really was unbelievable 
stuff. 100 and 52 partnership 

208
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,640
between Chris Blazard and 
Charlie Cottam. 

209
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Magnificent catch by Alan 
Howarth running around the 

210
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,080
boundary to get a breakthrough 
for Haslingdem. 

211
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,160
But it's looking like it's too 
late. 

212
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,920
Ben Heap the next one to come 
in, the 16 year old I think it 

213
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,440
is. 
Is it Ben Heap walking to the 

214
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,960
wicket? 
It's certainly a big 

215
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,040
responsibility for a 16 year old
batsman, but it's looking like 

216
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,720
Ben Heap. 
I think Chris Ben Ball was due 

217
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,120
to come in after. 
Ben Heap really is manic here. 

218
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Down here, the crowd are ready 
to run onto the pitch. 

219
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,800
I can hardly see the scoreboard.
I'm having to get out of my 

220
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:59,200
seat, 222 for four and this 
player's running over to the 

221
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,840
corner. 
Not right, sure what's going on.

222
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720
I hope there's no trouble down 
in that corner, but it's 

223
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,240
certainly a bit of. 
Just a break in play. 

224
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:14,240
I don't quite know what's gone 
on there. 222 for three for 

225
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,240
four. 
Now it is of course that wicket 

226
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:22,640
going down 152 partnership. 
Splendid effort between those 

227
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,760
two batsmen I. 
Don't want the delays, just need

228
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,480
to. 
Get the spectators back over the

229
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,720
fence. 
Low houses. 

230
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Cause every delay, every delay 
makes the light. 

231
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,000
Worse and it. 
Means we're not going to work 

232
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,080
complete the game, so we just 
need to make sure we can't 

233
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,240
finish this one. 
Surely we can't come back 

234
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,560
tomorrow night for just to see. 
Ten runs for lower house to lift

235
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:48,040
the trophy. 222 for 3A. 
Delay in proceedings in the 

236
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,440
corner of the ground by the 
scoreboard. 

237
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,400
If you know the ground here at 
Liverpool Road to the left of 

238
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,080
the scoreboard as you look out 
onto the square. 

239
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Philbert is just going down to 
investigate things but the 4th 

240
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
wicket has gone down. 
Charlie caught him by the way of

241
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,840
a splendid catch by Alan Howarth
of the boarding of Stephen Deard

242
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,080
for 82. 
Chris Blazard is still unbeaten 

243
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,440
at the other end, 90 not out. 
The new batsman due to come in 

244
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,560
is Ben Heap at #6. 
To see these last runs out and 

245
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:20,480
to lift that first trophy in a 
long, long history for Law 

246
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,400
House, 142 years, one of the 
founder members of the 

247
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,160
Lancashire League. 
Will it be heat? 

248
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,680
Will it be Blazard who may hit 
the winning runs here in the 

249
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,280
gloom at Floor House at 
Liverpool Road? 

250
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,600
There's still alone in 
proceedings. 

251
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,160
You're missing no action 
whatsoever. 

252
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,520
That 4th wicket went down and 
then I'm not quite sure what's 

253
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,200
happened in that corner. 
The crowd were on the pitch, few

254
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,720
of the players ran over to the 
corner. 

255
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,840
Don't know if there's been some 
trouble down by a few of the 

256
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,480
hospitality tents. 
I'm sure there's one or two 

257
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,120
people who've had rather a lot 
to drink this afternoon. 

258
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,560
Let's hope it's not anything too
troublesome, but we still have a

259
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:01,040
delay and hopefully we'll get a 
resumption in this game. 

260
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,280
They're back on the pitch, all 
of them in the square, but 

261
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,640
certainly one or two players run
over to the corner and the 

262
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,080
umpire, the umpire is returning 
to his position. 

263
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,360
They're still, I'm sure, intent 
on getting this match completed.

264
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,080
I'm having to, well, almost 
stand on a chair. 

265
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,160
I'm not the tallest of members. 
I can see now what's going on, 

266
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,160
where it matters out in the 
square. 

267
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Still not a resumption. 
Still no resumption in 

268
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,840
proceedings. 
Phil is back in the commentary 

269
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,760
position after being doing a bit
of investigation, but. 

270
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,280
Still think we're going to 
continue Mark, I'm afraid. 

271
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,640
I think Aslington are not happy.
They can't see the ball in the 

272
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,360
field. 
Paul Blackledge wants to take 

273
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,960
his team off and I think, I 
think we've seen the last action

274
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,040
of the day. 
It is only 10. 

275
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,360
The umpires I think want to 
continue at the moment don't. 

276
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960
They're not happy with some 
sections of the crowd on the far

277
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,840
side where they've been getting 
a little bit of heckling. 

278
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:02,160
Well, thankfully we are I think 
going to continue now. 222 for 

279
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,520
four. 
We're expecting Ben Heat to be 

280
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,840
the new batsman and it's still 
very hectic here. 

281
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,560
We're having difficulty clearing
the commentary position so we 

282
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,480
can see the action. 
Just 10 needed and it'll be 

283
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Blizzard to face. 
Yes, Steve, we. 

284
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,400
Continue Steve Dearden into 
bowl. 

285
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,280
It's Blizzard facing tries to 
just push this away on the 

286
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:34,000
offside. 
There's no run, no run. 222 for 

287
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,480
four, just 10 needed. 
Steve Dearden back in the 

288
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,280
attack. 
Fire Ebola. 

289
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,960
Yeah, those lights in that far 
corner feel very, very, very, 

290
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,520
very, very bright in. 
Fairness to the Haslington lads,

291
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,960
it is very dark. 
It's hard in the field. 

292
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560
They brought the fastest bowler 
back on in. 

293
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,960
Steve did and bless our facing 
him, it's high. 

294
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,840
He's pushed it towards third 
man. 

295
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,680
That'll be 4. 
More it was. 6 In fact, it's 

296
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,840
gone over the boundary. 6 of 
them, 228 for four. 

297
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,840
Blizzard getting close to that 
century on 96. 

298
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,680
Well, they may have brought 
their fastest bowler back, but 

299
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,560
certainly Chris Brezard saw that
like a footballer swatted it 

300
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,120
over the bounds of your ropes 
for the maximum 896. 

301
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,680
Now to Chris Blizzard, 228 for 
four. 

302
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,400
Just a boundary required to make
history here at Liverpool. 

303
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,560
Incomes Dearden to bolter 
Blizzard. 

304
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,040
Well that was a quick delivery. 
Just pushes it away, guides it 

305
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:35,080
down towards 3rd man and that'll
mean Ben Heap on the strike. 16 

306
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:44,840
year old lad, uncle and nephew 
out there and uncle and nephew 

307
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,800
out there at the moment. 
Let's just see what happens with

308
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,400
them at the crease. 
In comes Steve Dearden bowling 

309
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,600
to young Ben Heap. 
That hit him on the hand, but 

310
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,440
he's managed to get himself a 
single 230 #4 on the scorecard. 

311
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Just two needed. 
Just two needed. 

312
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,400
They're so close, Blizzard. 
And he will have a word in the 

313
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,160
middle. 
That's the end of Dearden's over

314
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,040
4 still to come. 
And just to see what Paul 

315
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Blackledge does now, he'll need 
to bring in a a new bowl. 

316
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,120
As if Mustafar's bowl is 10 
Black Ledge. 

317
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,240
There was Alan Howarth where he 
took that spectacular catch to 

318
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,200
get rid of Cotton. 
He did turn to the crowd as much

319
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,080
to say you've been giving me a 
lot of stick. 

320
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,280
Did you see that catch? 
I don't think the Asanine lads 

321
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,480
are all together happy. 
Must have bought his 10 overs. 

322
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,160
He wanted to bowl again. 
He can't do that. 

323
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,560
Well, nice. 
Try just to. 

324
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,160
Require Phil. 
Coming back. 

325
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,280
Get it over with the yeah you 
quite rightly say Alan Howard 

326
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,400
coming back to bowl this next 
over. 

327
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,560
This surely will be history 
being made at Liverpool Road as 

328
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,440
Alan Howarth prepares to bowl 
the commencement of the. 47th 

329
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,720
over Mark. 
We're just going to make sure 

330
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,000
that spectators don't get in our
way here. 

331
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,400
This is a momentous occasion. 
How? 

332
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,760
With bowls to heap, he's 
certainly going to get one here.

333
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,280
It's a good bit of fielding. 
Haslington playing to the 

334
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,480
finish. 
The scores are now level 231. 

335
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,680
For 442 years Lower House have 
been formed. 

336
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,000
They've never, ever won a 
trophy. 

337
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,040
They were losing finalists in 
this competition in 1980. 

338
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,280
How fitting that Chris Blizzard 
will now face. 

339
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,080
He's on 96. 
We're about to see history being

340
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,960
made. 
One run win, one run needed to 

341
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,040
win here. 231 for four. 
We're in the 47th over. 

342
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Here comes Alan Howard, right on
medium pace. 

343
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,360
Bolster Blizzard. 
He's. 

344
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,000
Got it away. 
These are the winning runs. 

345
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,560
Pulled it towards mid wicket. 
There's going to be some 

346
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,480
celebrations here. 
He's got his hundred as well 

347
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,240
with that shot. 100 not out for 
Chris Blazer. 235 for four. 

348
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,440
It finishes. 
What a dramatic conclusion. 

349
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320
But what? 
Almost 8:30. 

350
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,600
Law House, after 142 years have 
won their first trophy. 

351
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,120
Mark Briggs, a piece of history.
Absolutely superb and how 

352
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,320
fittingly that's Chris Blazar, 
the hero in the semi final. 

353
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,600
Scored a century. 
Quite timely in that shot for a 

354
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,960
boundary. 
It's absolutely superb. 

355
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,040
The final runs, winning that 
first trophy of 142 years, a 

356
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,240
century. 
What a way to do it. 

357
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,720
Yeah, it was all about the stand
between Chris Blazar and Charlie

358
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,960
Cotton. 
They put on 152 for the 4th 

359
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,120
wicket, 70 for three. 
It was when the professional 

360
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:49,360
Peter Fulton went Chris Blizzard
100 not out, Charlie Cotton with

361
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:52,240
82. 
They were the heroes as Linden. 

362
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,240
Well, they've won trophies over 
the years. 

363
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,320
Lower house have never won 
anything. 

364
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,200
We're going to leave you with 
the news. 

365
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,480

League in the darkness here at 

366

won the 2004 Worsley Cup final. 

367
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:09,960
They finish 235 for four at the 
end. 

368
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,240
A6 wicket win. 
Congratulations to everybody
