Bill Dorsey

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Bill Dorsey yesterday. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Michelle, Liam, Sam and all the family during this incredibly difficult time.

Bill was a huge part of Clifton CC and a dear friend to so many. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A tribute to Bill will follow in the coming days.

ECB National Club Championship

We have been drawn at home in the 2nd preliminary round of the ECB National Club Championship v Bowdon CC on Sunday 27th April.

We are hoping that this will see the return to Manchester Road of two former Clifton CC juniors who are now involved in the County setup.

Rob Lord, who has played at Bowdon CC for a couple of seasons now, was on a rookie contract with Nottinghamshire CCC at the later end of the 2024 season, has seen his efforts rewarded with a new 2 year contract - https://www.trentbridge.co.uk/news/2024/july/lord-signs-first-professional-deal.html

Keshana Fonseka has recently joined Bowdon CC and signed his first professional contract at Lancashire CCC, representing the 1st XI towards the end of the 2024 season - https://cricket.lancashirecricket.co.uk/news/2024-news/keshana-fonseka-turns-professional-with-lancashire/

We wish both lads all the very best with their respective Counties and fingers are crossed that both get a run out for Bowdon CC on Sunday 27th April.
