Sefton's defence of the Ray Tyler Cup fell at the first hurdle with defeat at Northop Hall. The hosts posted 235-5 from 40 overs; Michael Kelly (3-20) was the pick of Sefton's bowlers. Three wickets in 10 balls left Sefton's response at 33-4 and from there they couldn't challenge the total, ultimately closing on 142-6. Sarhad Rustom scored 33, Adam Taylor 29* and Dan Cuthbert 22*. At Croxteth Drive, Sefton Park Women entertained Leigh in the Thunder Cup. A composite team of f

Just the one match to report on after the RB Sunday XI's fixture at St Helens Town fell foul of the weather. Alex Woods' Sunday XI hosted local rivals Liverpool on the Lower Ground where the home side won the toss and elected to bat. The skipper opened and hit 29 with great support from Rajiv Bhardwaj who finished unbeaten on 52. Hamza Maqbool chipped in with 25 as Sefton declared on 181-9 off 45 overs. Liverpool's reply saw Dan Cuthbert take 2-27 but the visitors reached the

Sefton Park 1st XI host Maghull today - a fixture which has often thrown up tight finishes in recent years. Sefton squeaked home by two wickets in a low scoring game last season; two years ago a draw which both teams felt they coulda-shoulda won. Maghull picked up their first league win at home against Hightown St Mary's last weekend; Sefton, currently sitting in second thanks to home wins over the division's two Wirralian teams, welcome spinner Tom Spilsbury back into the ra

Sefton 2ndXI won a thriller in the Chrysalis T20 Cup at Caldy by two runs following a brilliant bowling performance from Ronan Brady and Pete Ostler. Ostler conceded just two runs from the last over to pull off what at times had seemed an unlikely victory. Alex Woods scored 26 at the top of the order but, with the rest of the top five failing to make double figures, Sefton were 48-5 at the halfway point. Shadab Khan (22) and Raj Bhardwaj (38) put on 44 for the seventh wicket

A fantastic effort by Sefton U11 (2025) at the rearranged 2025 U11 Lancashire Knockout Finals Day at Orrell Red Triangle saw them narrowly miss out on silverware. Having beaten Lowerhouse in the semi-final, Sefton came up just seven runs short in the final against Whalley Range in a game which was nip and tuck all the way. Every player was a real credit to the club and they should be very proud of all their achievements in reaching the final. Many congratulations to Whalley R

This Weekend at Sefton Sefton are back at Croxteth Drive on Saturday with a rejuvenated New Brighton the visitors.

Noon start; "last hour" from 5.45pm. Sefton 4XI will be looking to build on last week's win against Maghull 3XI on the lower gr

Sefton eased through to the second round of the ECB National T20 Knockout this evening.

Laura Stringman scored 23 up top, Amy Kennedy 29 in the middle and Grace Manek 19 at number 10.

This Bank Holiday weekend at Sefton sees plenty of cricket if we can avoid the English weather! After a tense win in the league opener on Saturday, Sefton Park 1st XI head up the coast to face Hightown St Mary's. Hightown were beaten by New Brighton on the opening day but we had two very tight games against them last season, ending in a two wicket win and a draw on the road.
