We then look ahead to this weekend’s First and Second Eleven games against Greenmount. We’re also joined by Charlie Gansler, who talks us through his injury, recovery and his time playing in the Second Eleven. Another…
In this special episode of the Housecast Podcast, Alexandra Cropper, Heritage Manager at Lancashire County Cricket Club, sits down with Lowerhouse Cricket Club’s historian Anne Cochrane for a fascinating conversation about the club’s remarkable past. Anne has long been known as the guardian of Lowerhouse’s history, and in this interview her incredible knowledge truly shines through. From the…
It was an emotional day as we recorded this episode, following the funeral of our much-loved club photographer, Bob Sandiford. Bob was given a fitting send-off and Jez talks us through the day, sharing some memories of a true Lowerhouse legend. We've also put together a playlist of Bob's videos, all 31 of them, which are mentioned during the episode. They're a wonderful reminder of the moments he…
This week we welcome Second Teamer Will Norcross to talk through the recent results for the Second Team. Joe and Jez talk through the home win for the Firsts against Norden and we officially release our new iPhone and iPad app. Oh, and its Guess the Winner time again, you can guess how that went!
This week we're joined by Keagan de Vries and Henri Cottam to relive the tremendous win at Walsden. Keagan also reflects on his record-breaking innings, becoming the highest-scoring number eight batter in Lowerhouse history. We're aware of some audio issues during this episode – Jez's signal wasn't at its best and he occasionally sounds more robot than human. We've tried our best, so you'll just…
This week we're joined by Chippy as we take a trip down memory lane and delve into the career – and almost a "This Is Your Life" – of the one and only Joseph Martin. With Joe training the juniors whilst were recording, Jez, Joe B and Gary squeeze into the Umpires Room to chat through his cricketing journey, memorable moments, and plenty of stories from over the years, and Joe M joins us later on.…
This week on the Housecast Podcast, Chris Bleazard steps into the guest host chair as Jez is tackling the NC500 on his bike (really?) and Joe Beneduce is on holiday for a change. We take an in-depth look back at Lowerhouse’s last two matches, discussing the key moments, performances and talking points from both games. We also delve into the archives for a flashback to one of Gary’s remarkable…
This week on the Housecast Podcast, we’re joined by Fourth Eleven captain, coach, and all-round good egg Dave Krupinski. We chat through his early playing days, look back on some classic fixtures, and dive into how he’s progressed into coaching while leading the Fourth Eleven. We also talk through all the latest senior team results from across the club. There’s also a light-hearted (and slightly…
The Housecast Podcast is back — and back in person from the Executive Suite… or whatever it’s officially called (we debate that too). Joining us this week are Chris Bleazard and Paddy Martin as we look back on recent results, including the outstanding win over rivals Burnley. We chat to Blez about reaching the incredible milestone of 17,000 Lancashire League runs and what the achievement means to…
We’re loving these live podcasts at the moment. With Jez and Gary away on holiday, Housecast’s very own Ant and Dec — Joe and Joe — sit down in person with skipper Ben Heap to chat through pre-season prep and the opening two games of the campaign, including a lovely trip over to Crosby. There are listener questions for the skipper, plenty of insight from inside the dressing room, and we even get…
