As we look ‘Through the Keyhole’ this week, it doesn’t take us long to find the person who’s up next. As Director of Junior Cricket and Chairman of our Committee, Gary Hayes works tirelessly to ensure our Club runs as smoothly as possible. It’s certainly safe to say, with 5 junior age groups raring to go, he is the reason we have such a thriving youth section. As well as his work off the field, Gary is involved with team training and also umpires for the senior teams most weekends. Gary……it’s over to you! What is your name and your…

Next up ‘In the Spotlight’ is the one and only, Alan Moore. As well as our 3rd Team Captain, Alan is also our Club Website Administrator and all round communications expert. Through our social media channels, Alan keeps us up-to-date with exciting news, both on and off the field. To say we couldn’t do without him is an understatement! Do you have a nickname and if so, can you explain its significance? Erm… you’d have to ask other people what they call me behind my back, but the nearest I’ve come to is “senior”, coined by our scorer & umpire…
ORTCC 100 Club Last night, at the Cricket Club, both our Chairman and Treasurer oversaw 2 draws of the 100 Club. In order to ensure everything is fair and above board, our Committee always asks people to come together to complete the draw. However, as you will appreciate, this was impossible last season. Consequently, both the Autumn 2020 and the Summer 2020 draws were put on hold until this year and both took place last night. Here are the lucky winners! Winners – Autumn 2020 draw £100 Dom Lawton £60 Mel Leaford £40 Dave Pallett Winners – Summer 2020 draw…

You’d need to ask Peggy or Mick Dalton…remember my early bowling years not being too successful but not entirely sure. What sparked your interest in cricket? Tom Wilkinson took me with his son Andrew to Wigan U11’s where he coached,…
First up ‘In the Spotlight’ is our very own First Team Captain, Sam Heeley. Great with both bat and ball, Sam is confident his side will do well this year! Let’s see what he has to say. Do you have a nickname and if so, can you explain its significance? KDB (Kevin De Bruyne). Apparently, I am a look alike! What sparked your interest in cricket? My dad played cricket which started my interest, but it was mainly that I had some friends who played at Standish. I actually found it boring and was close to quitting when younger! Do you have…

Who works at a club like Orrell? Let’s take a look! First up is our Club Chairman, Spencer Anglesea. How long have you been Chairman of Orrell CC?This is my 6th year. What duties do you undertake as part of your role?I’m a bit of a control freak and in the early days got involved in just about everything to do with the day to day running of the club which in the end just became too much. I got involved with safeguarding, player recruitment, fundraising, club refurbishment and the bar. It took me 3 or 4 years to realise…
