Portreath today were gutted to say goodbye to England international Liam Capp, who was sold to balance the books as the club could no longer afford his wages.

What a legend. He leaves the club with an OD average of 86 over 191 games, amassing 9379 runs, a high score of 251 and no less than 41 centuries and 32 50's.

What a loss he will be for the club who look to be entering a rebuild phase.

All the best fella, thanks for the memories!

The Lincolnshire Irons bid farewell to a remarkable era as veteran quartet Patrick Page, Carl Lee, Devon Birmingham and Everett Bird announce their retirement.

All four featured in the club’s first-ever match on 1 November 2022, an 8-wicket BT20 victory over Scalloway Golden Eagles.

Together, they amassed 976 appearances, 17,332 runs and 688 wickets.

Page departs as a record-holder for most wicketkeeper catches (197), stumpings (22) and matches captained (70).

Now aged 37, the quartet step away together, leaving a lasting legacy as four of the club’s most influential and respected figures.

Page said: “To start this journey together and finish it side by side means everything. This club has been our home, and we’re proud of what we’ve built.”

S.P.E.C.T.R.E delivered a historic and long-awaited triumph, crushing Yorkshire Tykes by 10 wickets in the CL Final to finally lift the trophy that had eluded them for so long. From the very start, they dominated in every department, leaving no chance for their opponents. Lucas emerged as the top bowler with a clinical spell that dismantled Yorkshire Tykes and set the tone for complete control. With the bat, it was sheer dominance—Houlihan remained unbeaten on 99*, while MacFarland stood strong on 91*, as the duo chased down the target effortlessly without losing a wicket. This emphatic win was more a victory—it was statement of resilience, teamwork, and belief, marking a chapter in S.P.E.C.T.R.E’s journey and turning a long wait into a moment of pure glory for the team and its supporters.

After 50 seasons an longstanding ground record has been broken by a large margin. Hopf smashed 452 runs in the First Class match today. He has replaced Stirk from the record books who amassed 298 runs on 12/10/2010. Congratulations to Hopf!

Lincolnshire Irons’ historic first appearance in a Cup Final ended in defeat to Division I high-flyers Wylam, but the club leaves the competition with enormous pride after a remarkable run.

The Irons were heavy underdogs, with Wylam’s line-up boasting a £1.4m wage bill – more than double that of the Lincs club.

Winning the toss, the Irons batted first. Zia McAllister anchored the innings with a composed 65. However, scoring proved tough and the Irons were bowled out for 209.

Early wickets gave the home crowd hope, but Wylam eventually reached the target with 10 overs remaining, winning by five wickets.

DaveyCricket said: “Congratulations to Wylam – they showed why they’re one of the best sides around. But I couldn’t be prouder of this team. This final is just the start of our journey.”

The club formerly known as Austerlands is pleased to announce a new chapter in its history.

The club has officially been renamed to Duck Dodgers following a change in ownership and management. The team will now be led by manager “CaptainDodger”, who has taken control of the club with a clear vision for its future.

Under the new management, the club intends to invest in player development, strengthen the squad, and build a competitive side capable of progressing through the leagues. The focus will be on creating a strong and sustainable team that can compete consistently.

Supporters can expect further updates as CaptainDodger begins shaping the future of Duck Dodgers

After the bells lost twelve competitive matches in a row they finally won against CrossFit CC in the OD league!

The fans are leaving the club in droves and pushes the club to consider their future direction

In anticipation of tomorrow's game with Swapnil Stars, Jeff Morbin responded to a question regarding his preparedness by stating "It's Morbin Time."

Lincolnshire Irons announce the immediate retirements of batsmen Mathew Taylor and Eamonn Docherty.

Their final appearance came in Friday’s OD victory over IV King and Country FCC, with Taylor captaining the side and making 33 while Docherty departed with a duck.

Both were true Irons originals, playing in the club’s very first match in November 2022 against Monkeyheads. Now aged 37 and 38, they have taken on minor roles in recent seasons but still thrilled supporters with the occasional chance to big-bash and recall the glory days.

Taylor bows out after 126 competitive appearances, scoring 7 centuries and 33 half-centuries, while Docherty finishes on 162 appearances with 11 hundreds and 41 fifties.

Two careers that will live long in Irons folklore. A proud day of tribute and thanks.

Seconds after inking a deal at his new club, young Harunur Rahman was sanctioned for his celebratory antics. Still holding the president's pen, he loosed a wild roar that stunned the suits around the table as he drew a bright red line across his own palm, utterly ruining the fine golden nib. He then smeared a bloody hand across his own face and leaned in to grasp the president's head in both hands and plant an unwelcome kiss on the great man's cheek. Bewildered and sputtering, Mr Anthony demanded Coach Cordle restrict the new kid to nets only for the rest of the season.
Rahman was cleared by the club doctor of any permanent damage to his hand, while the lab is still examining his bloodwork for any communicability issues.

Lincolnshire Irons batsman, Zia McAllister, reached a major career landmark on Sunday, powering past 10,000 One Day runs.

The milestone came as McAllister hit a stunning 114 against Lawford Lions in Round 4 of the Cup.

It took the right-handed opener only 163 matches to achieve the feat, underlining a remarkable record of consistency and class.

McAllister has now scored 38 half-centuries and 38 centuries at an average of 110.

Reflecting on the achievement, McAllister said: “It’s a proud moment and something I’ve worked hard for. I’ve been lucky to play with great team-mates who have helped me along the way.”

The next target is already in sight, with McAllister just 292 runs away from 10,000 first-class runs, two achievements that could firmly establish him as a future hall of famer.
