#GrandToursOfTheWestOfScotland
All set for midweek action at Hughenden for tonight’s Western Cup clash between @hillheadcc & Partick. Was a bit of a let down having to wait until tonight to get this deck up but the weather gods weren’t as favourable to us last week in preparation, so delighted to get it going!
A long day for the squad today as we toured the west of Scotland! Three cricket fixtures this evening, three cricket fixtures on Saturday, two cricket fixtures on Sunday & a football game to prepare for as we hit @Greenockcricket, @WoSCC, @hillheadcc &, finally, @GlasgowHarpAFC1!
A day spent @hillheadcc today, a bit of work still to be done ahead of the weekend’s games. The working dog Bella was in attendance today too. Watching over proceedings. 🏴🏏
Busy day down @Greenockcricket today as things ramp up for Saturdays game. Pitch cut, rolled and marked ahead of it. Outfield cut and two practice pitches cut rolled and marked. Groundsman Bella on hand again today for support. 🏏🏴#bella#labrador#workingdog#mansbestfriend
Hard day today @hillheadcc as we worked under the watchful eye of Bella. As we cut the sqaure and wicket as we move closer to the season starting. 🏏🏴 #Labrador#workingdog#cricketdog
And we’re all set for the cricket season to begin at Hamilton Crescent! All marked in and all systems go for @WoSCC 1st XI’s return to the @WDCUofficial Premiership One vs. GHK tomorrow. Best of luck to all at West of Scotland for the season!
Busy day across the board. An early morning trip to Greenock to roll the wicket, then back to Glasgow to get the square cut and training pitch rolled and marked for tonight’s training at West Of Scotland. With the first home game on Saturday it’s been an all go week 🏏🏴
As the 2026 cricket season gets started today with the @CricketScotland Scottish Cup and I’m sure a few friendlies around the country, we’d like to wish all teams in the @WDCUofficial and @ESCACricket all the best for the forthcoming coming season. #summerishere#groundies 🏏🏴
Thursday saw another busy day as the team split up. One heading down the inverclyde coast to Greenock where the sun was out. A busy day of Cutting and rolling, followed a lovely drive down. With the first game on the 9th May, still a bit of time to get down to business. 🏏🏴
Stunning day across Glasgow today, West of Scotland’s Hamilton Crescent looking a picture in the sun. Shame the wicket wasn’t quite ready for this weekend’s friendlies. We continue to march towards the 2nd May’s league opener. 🏴🏏
A cut in the afternoon sun in Bishopbriggs as we get ready for tomo nights @CaledonianAFA game between @GlasgowHarpAFC1 and Scottish cup finalists @DrumAmsFC another cut and a mark tomo and we’re ready to go 🏴⚽️
Great day down at Glenpark today to get some work in. Growth sheet off the practice square & an area of the main square, both cut down & the outfield given another cut. There’s a cricket ground starting to appear from the shadows of the Greenock winter! @Greenockcricket
Early start and a trip to @Greenockcricket today in the sun. Square has come on so much in the last few weeks, very pleased with how it’s progressing. Double cut the outfield today all under the watchful eye of Bella. #4weekstogo#bella#workingdog#labrador 🏴🏏
Prep day at @AllanGlensRFC ahead of the last home double header for the home side followed by hosting the Women’s National Plate playoff match between Hillfoots & Irvine on Sunday #BusinessEnd
Busy day @AllanGlensRFC getting the pitches cleaned up after the weekends rugby games and ready for this weekend. @GlasgowHarpAFC1 at home and the under 17’s rugby also have a home match at the ground. 🏴🏉⚽️
After a busy week, working at various venues. It was nice to have a chill Friday walk with my wee pal Bella through the wooded walk in Larbet. #labrador#walkies#Bella
Another day, another ground, today at the home of @AllanGlensRFC to get ready for their 1st and 2nd’s games at home tomorrow. The 1’s play @garnockrugby while the 2nd’s play @whitecraigsrc good luck to all teams 🏴🏉
Busy day today down @Greenockcricket. Definitely the most challenging square from what we had to work with to where we are now, by no means perfect but bit by bit, getting the ground ready for the season ahead. Outfield double cut and overseed the square 🏏🏴#harwork#groundie
