Max Jones took 3 wickets and Joe Horton 2 wickets but it was not enough against the opposition bowlers who reached 154.

The 1st XI cruised to a win before the tea was even ready at Beach Close today!

Gaz Boughey scored 43 as PCC easioly got the runs needed in 13.1 overs for a well deserved win.

PCC have submitted nominations for LDCC representative cricket at U17, U15 and U13 level. All 35 member clubs have been invited to nominate players and the standard is incredibly high. The club will know in the next few weeks if any PCC players have been successful. Players are judged on current form and stats on the play cricket website at U17 and U15 level and U13 nominees will be invited to trial in Merseyide shortly.

Senior Availability for the Weekend of Saturday May 12th/Sunday May 13th starts now! See the link opposite please.
ALSO NOTE: There is NO 2ND XI game on Sat 12 May as it is a Free week.

The 3rd XI won at home to Colwyn Bay in the Embee Trophy Round 1. C Bay were 104 all out with Scott Williams getting 5 wickets and Nadeem Mohammed 3 wickets. Ash Jones chipped in with a throw for a run out. Danny Davies kept wicket extraordinarily well throughout also! PCC responded with 106-1. Danny Davies got 69 and Adam Tidswell 17. Through to Round 2!.

Some of the PCC juniors are involved in representative cricket this weekend. Ben Wistow-Hughes and Joe Horton integral in the NEW U14 win v Eryrie at Northop. NEW 189-6 and Eryri 102 all out. Meanwhile Sheil Sethi is in S Wales for the final trials for Wales U12's and we wish him every success.

The 1st XI drew their first league game away at Birkenhead Park. PCC batted first with the pro Warren Groeneveld on a superb 112, and Danny Davies 74 n/o and Ryan Westwell 34 to score a total of 251-5d. In reply the opposition scored 115-7 off 50 overs as PCC failed to bowl them out to tie the match.
The 2nd XI simply failed to field and catch at Beach Close with the youngest side fielded this season against a much older and wiser opposition. Bowling first PCC toiled away and only Leo Teal took wickets with 3-72-15 and Faiz Shah with a superb throw for a run out. There were 5 dropped catches off the other bowlers and Andy Taylor (Capt) had a lot to say to his side in the interval as B'Head St Mary's posted 204-4d. However the batting was no better and PCC were all out for an abysmal 51. Andy Taylor has ordered fielding and catching practice asap!

The 3rd XI Game away at Ainsdale has been CANCELLED due to bad weather.

The 1st XI lost away to Wavertree in the Digman K/O Cup. Despite brave batting from Ryan Westwell (71) and Gaz Boughey (58) PCC were 174-6. Wavertree replied with 177-6. No bowling stats to date, but Danny Davies took 2 wickets as did Kieran New with Gaz B and Scott Williams a wicket apiece.
The 2nd XI lost at home to Wavertree in the damp, bitterly cold conditions at Beach Close. PCC had a bright start with the ball - Joe Horton 4-29-9 Max Jones 3-12-8.4 Adie Croughan 2-19-7 to get Wavertree all out on 142. The batting reply let the side down with the first 6 not reaching double figures. A Spirited Captains performance by Andy Taylor coming in at 8 with his dodgy knee, hitting a 6 up on the roof for a game 17, coupled with a great performance by Faiz Shah - who stuck around scoring 2 x3 runs - (yes Faiz!!) to score 14 were the pick of the batsmen.PCC could do no more than score 80 all out. The LDCC league games commence next week - better weather hoped for!

Junior Training night Fri April 27th - Junior training night will go ahead as normal PROVIDING there is no more rain this afternoon. Please note the junior square will be cordoned off as it is under water.

A Decision on Junior Training Night will be made by 3.30pm today after checking the state of the ground at Beach Close.

It would make it SO MUCH EASIER for the captains and selectors if players could be more forthcoming on availability! You all have either the website, facebook or twitter, the phone or txt message or all 5, but the selectors have spent all evening ringing round again!

Captains request notification of your availability/non availability by each Thursday by 8pm or they will assume you are NOT AVAILABLE to play on the weekend and leave you out of the selection process altogether. Its not too much to ask and is courtesy to inform the people who work very hard on your behalf to get teams out every weekend.

The 2nd and 3rd XI selections for the weekend are now online.

Happy 76th Birthday to Ralph Allars. Unfortunately Ralph is in hospital and is not too well, but we wish him a Happy Birthday and speedy recovery x

The 1st XI selection for this weekend is now online. The 2nd and 3rd XI will follow on Thursday night.

Reminder Seniors: If you are UNAVAILABLE for the weekend of APRIL 28th/29th please let selectors/captains know on the UNAVAILABILITY link opposite thank you.

The 3rd XI lost at home to Sefton Park. PCC won the toss and elected to bat. Scott Williams scored 32 runs, Joe Horton 20 runs and Max Jones 20 runs to score an overall team total of 101 all out with a very young side. PCC then struggled with the ball with only Max Jones taking a wicket 1-27-6 as Sefton cruised to a comfortable 102-1.

The 1st XI soared to new heights in a great win away at Formby. Gaz Boughey provided the masterclass scoring 108, Rhys Jones on 47 with Danny Williams getting 29. Bowling wise, pace bowler Kieran New picked up 3-21 with good contributions from Richie Williams 2-43, Danny Davies 2-14, and Gaz Boughey 2-12. PCC 259-7 and Formby 104 all out. A fine win!
The 2nd XI on a heavy damp wicket which had a delayed start and reduced overs of 38 due to rain, narrowly lost to Formby in the Chester Cup by 17 runs. No scorecard as yet available, but Leo Teal had an excellent day with the ball getting 4-10 -5 Joe Horton 2-23-5 as did Max Jones 2-29-6 and Ben Wistow Hughes 1-23-3 and Ash Jones 1-5-1.3 The evergreen Chris Young showed the way with the opening bat scoring 29 in his first personal game of the season, but the wicket proved too stubborn for any batsmen seeking drives along the grass and the aerial route seemed the better option for more experienced batsmen like Andy Taylor, but with reduced overs, the target of 136 Formby set, proved elusive to Prestatyn.

Sorry Bernih carn't come to training today. I have got family over from Bradford.

Junior Training Night: Reminder that junior training night commences on Friday April 20th - 6.30-8pm (except Dragon Squad are 6.30- 7.30pm age 5-9).

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI Senior Selections for the weekend are now online.

UNAVAILABILITY LINK REMINDER - Last weekend proved that many players were indeed UNAVAILABLE for matches yet no one notified their UNAVAILABILITY on the link opposite below!. It is crucial for selectors to know if anyone is NOT AVAILABLE for senior or junior matches as selections are done during the week. Selectors/Coaches will presume you are available to play whether senior or junior unless notified differently as phoning round individuals constantly, is time wasting and annoying for selectors.

The 3rd XI opened their season with a great win away at Northop Hall! PCC batted first and Danny Davies 32, Jake Jones 23 and Joe Horton 21 all contributed with the bat to score 114. The 3rds got tough with the ball and Jake Jones got 2-6, Danny Davies 2-1 with 5 of the team all picking up another wicket apiece! Northop Hall were 91 all out. A great all round team performance from the 3rds!

The 1st XI although losing to Colwyn Bay in the first round of the Digman K/O, responded positively to the away team who are in the Premier Division. PCC scored 122 all out with Danny Davies starring withe bat on 55. C Bay 123-3.
The 2nd XI fielding many U/15's, lost away at C Bay in the Chester Cup- 110-8 with Ash Jones scoring 22 while C Bay cruised to 280-6 and Adam Tidswell gaining a creditable 3-31 with the ball.

The winner of the April draw for the 175 club is No.23 Mark O'Mahoney who wins the monthly prize of £500!

Goodluck with the games this weekend :-) I hope the weather will play along! Have FUN!
