RUGBY PLAYERS. CRICKET SKILLS. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Think rugby players can play cricket? Think again!
We’re swapping scrums for cricket bats, lineouts for catches and rugby skills for some wildly questionable cricket swings!
Sunday 30th August 2026
Orrell Red Triangle Cricket Club
We’re kicking off the new season with our first social — and it’s the perfect excuse to get everyone together for a brilliant day out, with plenty of laughs on (and off) the pitch.
And this one isn’t just for the players…
Everyone is welcome — wives, girlfriends, kids, extended family, mates and anyone who enjoys watching rugby players try to work out what a “straight bat” means!
We need volunteers to play!
Whether you’re a seasoned cricketer or someone who thinks a “yorker” is just a bloke from Yorkshire, come along and join in.
No experience required. In fact, judging by some of the swings we’re expecting, experience might actually be a disadvantage!
Come along, have a laugh and enjoy the day.
It’s going to be cracking, fun-filled chaotic and very rugby-flavoured day.
