Hawcoat Park are the 2026 British Rose Cricket champions beating Heysham 2nds in the final at Lindal Moor on Sunday. Batting first Heysham were indebted to 47 from Dan Curran and a 13 ball unbeaten 20 from Harry Wallbank to get them to 109/6 with Hawcoat captain Tom Stanwix taking 3/21 and Matt Burrows bowling his four overs 1/12. Wallbank (2/15) and Dylan Barnes (2/26) reduced Hawcoat to 18/4 but Callum Muncaster made a match winning 44 from just 27 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes receiving good support from Chris Savage (25 not out) as the Barrow side won with 14 balls remaining. Harry Wallbank was named player of the match for his all round performance.

Galgate retained the Moon & Coxhill Cup in a repeat of last season’s final beating Bolton le Sands by 50 runs with Salman Khan scooping the Player of the Match award for his 38 and 3/18.

Run scoring was to the fore in the ICS Accounting Westmorland League with 12 hundreds scored over the weekend, and eight batters recording their maiden tons.  Appleby Eden needs 17 points from their last four games to secure back-to-back League titles, but on Saturday narrowly avoided defeat to Carnforth 2nds. Needing 135 to win, Carnforth were 134/7 only for Ben Allison (3/31) and Morgan Fothergill (4/24) to grab three wickets and force a tie. Jeremiah Wagg (28) and Martin Stretch (51) had set Carnforth seemingly on their way to victory at 102/2 and it was Jack Sutton (3/36) who started the slide. Earlier Alfie Hill (4/12), Archie Rich (3/47) and Jack Thompson (3/37) had put Appleby in peril, but number 9 Adam Knowles made 31 from 33 balls to take them to a total that just about proved defendable.  A brilliant all-round performance from Brad Stephens kept Lindal Moor in the hunt. Stephens scored 102 from 102 balls adding 130 with Ryan Gilmour (82 not out) in a mammoth 285/7 at Holme who made 182 in reply, Stephens taking 5/26 to his add to his runs.

Coniston gained their second league win of the season at the expense of Sedgwick who drop to fourth. Mike Burton (3/19) and Robert Warne (3/33) restricted the visitors to 132, Robbie Tattersall (35 not out) top scoring.  Coniston lost three early wickets but positive play from Burton (42) and Josh Davies (40) set up a 4 wicket win. Morecambe 2nd’s 1 wicket win at Warton takes the Woodhill Laners up to third.  Usman Haider took 5/29 as Alex Batson’s 47 not out elevated Warton to 153/9. Ashton Ward’s 48 put Morecambe in control, but Taylor Gilbert’s best for Warton of 5/26 dragged the home side back into the game and it needed Morecambe captain James Lambert to scurry the wining runs. In a crucial match towards the bottom Ulverston beat Arnside by 5 wickets. Oliver Wilcox (5/49) and   Gareth Yates (3/29) helped keep Arnside to 164, Rivan Stoman making 41. Stoman took 3/23 to put Arnside on top, but Phil Atkinson (36 not out) and Gareth Yates (47 not out) carried Ulverston to the points.  Joel Maree made 65 to go past 500 runs for the season for Haverigg who scored 201/8 against Settle 2nds. Noah Smith made a season’s best 47 and Paul Dockerty (37 not out) and John Hughes (34 not out) completed a 5 wicket win for the Yorkshiremen.

In 2A, Vickerstown went back top scoring 215 before bowling out Kirkby in Furness for 102, a result that looked unlikely when Vickerstown were 50/5 with Mike Fugler (4/32) and Mark Etchells 3/45) but John Burns strode out at number 7 to smite 12 fours and 7 sixes in a match winning 122, despite the valiant efforts of Rob Fugler who carried his bat for 88 whilst no teammate scored more than 4, Daniel Williams taking 4/48, Jack Litherland 3/10 and Gareth Benson 3/43.  Erstwhile leaders, Hawcoat Park lost by 13 runs to Kendal 2nds. Zaydaan Bhamji (55) made his 8th fifty of the season in Kendal’s 176, Callum Muncaster taking 4/37. Promising spinner Teddy Daly took 3/48 for Kendal. A thriller at Clifton Park saw Shireshead 2nds defeat Ambleside by 2 runs. Barny Wileman (4/44) and Adam Wood (4/26) bowled out the home side for 140 which proved just enough after James Rafferty (3/39) had removed the top order.  Rafferty’s former teammate Phil Bovis was in the runs for Milnthorpe making 80 not out adding 128 with Elliott Riley (65) to set up a 73 run win against Sedgwick 2nds sealed by Thamjid Nalakath’s 5/22.  Rob Letcher made his maiden hundred 116 not out from 144 balls with 20 fours to help Silverdale to a win at Cartmel, with Jack Dougan taking 4/5 as the home side lost their last 5 wickets for 15.

Ingleton opened up a 17 point lead in 2B. Jamie Ward made 60 at the top of the order, but it was Matty France’s 143 not out from 120 balls (23 fours, 1 six) that powered them to 271/5 at Bare and a 159 run win. Heysham 2nds lost ground losing to Westgate 2nds by 5 runs with Chris Carter (75) taking the home side to 182. Joe Senior’s batting has been a revelation this summer and he scored his maiden 100 playing largely a lone hand. Barrow 2nds won the derby game against Furness 2nds by 2 wickets. Harris Woods took 4/28 and was unlucky to be on the losing side. Jayden Brockbank’s 54 not out couldn’t prevent a Netherfield 3rds win by 5 wickets. Vaughan Sampson took 4/10 and Caleb Wilson scored 53 not out.  There was another maiden century at Windermere where Dineshmanickam Annadurai scored an undefeated 109 with 10 fours and 7 sixes as Morecambe 3rds made 251/6 going on to win by 42 runs despite Oli Killiner (67), Rajesh Cletus taking 5/33.

Appleby Eden 2nds went up to second in Division 3 with a 6 wicket win at Carnforth while Burneside 2nds beat Holme 2nds by 10 wickets.

Mike Dickinson (45) led Arnside 2nds to 158, Sam Trimnell taking 4/14 before Jacob Gould made his maiden century 118 not out with 16 fours and 2 sixes as Galgate won by 9 wickets. Gareth Kendall (109 not out from 107 balls) and Adam Young 112 from 86 balls took Haverigg 2nds to a monumental 302/5 and a 186 run win over Silverdale 2nds. Nathan Petch (108 not out) made his maiden century for Dalton 2nds but veteran pair William Hughes (89 not out) and Andy Baxter (70) took Lindal Moor 2nds to a 5 wicket win.
