CHAMPIONS 2021

Champions 2021
After a fantastic 1st XI season Byson Little's team were finally crowned champions on the 4th September following a hugely successful season down at Boundary Meadow.
The season ranked as one of the clubs all-time best, winning two major honours; the Palace Shield Division 1A title and success in the PS T20 Division 2 cup competition, along with becoming Cumbria & North Lancashire Regional Winners in the National Village Cup competition, before narrowly being knocked out in the National Rounds by Scottish side Meigle CC, in the round of 32. Arguably 2021 was the clubs most successful season ever, with only the 1969 side that won the Meyler Cup and the Fylde Cup (Division 1A) title in the same season that could possibly compete.
Huge congratulations Bryson and the lads!

We are once again looking for match ball sponsors for the forthcoming 2024 season. Become a Match Ball Sponsor for just £25.00 per game and support our club. Last season we spent over £1,700 on match balls across our senior sides and any sponsorship we can get in goes a long way to covering this cost. Balls are priced at £25.00 per game and sponsors will get coverage on the day of their specific match where they will feature on the club’s social media feeds and also on our club sponsor boards every week. Sponsors can include local businesses as well as families and individuals. All players are encouraged to make their best effort to get at least one match ball sponsor each. We cannot stress to our supporters enough how important fundraising like this is. If you would like to sponsor a match ball for the coming season you can do so by clicking HERE choosing from the remaining 1st XI and 2nd XI fixtures and making your payment. Along with social media posts, your name or business will be added to our Senior Fixture page under the relevant fixture. For any questions or queries please contact joe@torrisholmecc.co.uk #WeAreTCC

The 2023 Junior Presentation Night was very well attended and we were blessed with a lovely night. The event started with the inauguration of a handsome bell and plaque in memory of much missed club umpire Malcolm Porter , his son Ashley and family were present to ring the bell in Malc's memory and a moving moment was witnessed by well over a hundred players, parents and coaches. Once again Aussie overseas Matt Cline was guest of honour, Matt is returning to Australia after the season and, unfortunately, he doesn't plan to return next year. He has become a friend to many at the club as well as being a wonderful player, we all wish him the very best for his future life and cricket back down under. Virtually all the prize winners were present at the event and the league winning Under 11 Hardball squad received their trophy from Matt. The Junior Clubman of the Year, or Lockwood Trophy as it is known, was once again awarded to long serving coach and player Sean McGuigan . Thanks to all who supported the junior section through another busy Summer, to groundsman Eddy Bayton for preparing all those wickets and to the bar team who kept us 'hydrated' through the season.
