Got anything else on your mind that isn't about the Warriors? If you do, this is the place to post.

Memories of playing for Standish back around then. Always remember Gary Walsh ( went on play for Man U ) batting in red pads for Poolstock. I believe he was also a decent rugby player.

He may well have been but he played football for Poolstock and they went unbeaten for at least 2 years.

I'm reasonably sure he played in goal for Manchester United.
Yep he did, now a coach at Aston Villa,
Remember Highfield well, scored a 50 there once, lovely little ground,

The standard across the board in Wigan has declined cricket wise.

Standish CC I would say peaked with Roland Horridge as captain.
