Something special is happening this time of year. The days are getting longer, the sun is finally doing its job, and tennis fans can feel the excitement building. With just over two months to go until the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament, we can feel the anticipation building as it’s one of the most iconic events in the tennis calendar.
As the longest-running tennis tournament in Europe, this event brings tradition, atmosphere, and a proper dose of summer energy. With a range of ticket options available, from corporate packages to marquee and grandstand seating, there’s something to suit every kind of tennis fan.
So whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the sunshine (no judgment), it deserves to be marked in your calendars THIS SUMMER from the 18th to the 20th of June.
Witness top-level players up close before the big stage takes over. Think world-class tennis, but without needing binoculars. Enjoy the outdoors, and make the most of a great day out. Sunshine, rallies, and maybe even a tan, weather permitting, of course!
At 9am on Tuesday, 24th February, we took on the Macmillan Darts Marathon in the 1925 Lounge and what a day it turned out to be.
Players threw darts nonstop as we aimed to score 100,000 points and raise £1,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. The event was livestreamed throughout the day so people could follow the action both in the room and online.
Thanks to everyone who came down to take part, whether you were a seasoned darts player or just had a few throws to help the total climb. Every dart really did count.
We’re delighted to say we smashed our £1,000 fundraising target, and incredibly, it took just 5 hours to reach the 100,000 points milestone.
Macmillan provides vital support to people living with cancer, offering practical, emotional, and financial help when it’s needed most. A huge thank you to everyone who played, watched, or donated, helping make the day such a success. 💚
Join us for Cheltenham Gold Cup Day in the Century Pavilion.
For just £50 a ticket, you can expect a full day of cheeky bets with the best rated bookies, buffet food included and served part way through the day, with a DJ & Singer to end the night in style!
The LCC Darts League is set to launch with an exciting opening night featuring Tennis vs Squash and Men’s Cricket vs Padel. With preparations underway since Christmas, the Tennis section are already being tipped as the team to beat heading into the new competition.
What’s at Stake
There’s plenty on the line this season, with the League winners receiving a £100 bar tab in vouchers, as well as the first-ever LCC Darts League Trophy.
Rules & Format
Matches will be played using a 301 straight off, double finish format. Each team will face every other team once during the league stage, with the top four teams progressing to the playoffs, scheduled for 31st March.
On match nights, each player will play one game against a player from the opposing team. For example, seven squash players may face seven tennis players in seven individual games. Once all games are completed, the team with the most wins takes the match.
Win: 2 league points
Loss: 0 league points
The score difference will also be recorded and added to the league table. A 7–0 victory, for instance, would result in a +7 score difference, which may be used to separate teams level on points.
Match Nights
Each week will see six teams in action, with fixtures released on Friday 16th January. Weekly reminders will also be included in the club email communications. Players are asked to arrive by 7:00pm, with matches starting promptly at 7:30pm.
With silverware, bragging rights, and bar vouchers up for grabs, the LCC Darts League promises competitive action and lively evenings at the club throughout the season.
Match Week 1: Wed 21st January
The LCC Darts League got off to a brilliant start with a lively opening night full of close matches, strong performances, and a great club atmosphere.
The evening began with Staff vs Rugby, where Rugby made a confident start to the season, coming away with a 5–2 win. The closest match of the night followed as Tennis took on Squash. In a tense, back-and-forth contest, Squash edged it 4–3, handing the much-talked-about title contenders their first defeat. Action continued with Cricket vs Padel, where Padel produced a sharp and fast performance to secure a 6–1 victory and round off the night in style. A special mention goes to Kieran Cross from the Tennis team, who recorded the highest finish of the night with 42.
Beyond the results, it was a fantastic night for everyone involved. The club was buzzing, with teams turning up even when they weren’t playing, adding to a brilliant atmosphere throughout the evening. The competition was intense but always played in the right spirit — some fun darts, friendly rivalry, and great camaraderie between members.
With such a thrilling start, the LCC Darts League is already shaping up to be something special!
After a buzzing second week, the staff fought their way back into form with a dominant 6–1 win over Squash. Tennis edged past Rugby in a lively, back-and-forth match to claim a 5–2 victory, while Bowls made an unforgettable league debut by sweeping the Women’s Padel Team 7–0.
Tennis is also keeping the pressure on in the standings, picking up the extra league point once again thanks to the highest combined finishes of the week, this time posting an impressive 53. Momentum is definitely building.
Funny moment of the week: Clipping the tiny wire that lights up the dartboard, a genuine one-in-a-million hit that stunned everyone… including the thrower. 🎯😆
Match Week 3: Wed 4th February
Padel Biology took on a challenging doubleheader, losing 1–6 to Bowls before responding in emphatic fashion with a dominant 7–0 win over Women’s Cricket. Staff were right in the mix for a second win, pushing Tennis all the way before narrowly falling short in a tense 3–4 battle. But it was a standout night individually withDarren, the Bar Manager’s, getting the highest finish of 22!
Next week we’ll be LIVE streaming the entire night on YouTube, so keep an eye on our Instagram stories so you don’t miss a moment!
In an era where sports are evolving faster than ever, it doesn’t take long before everyone’s talking and wondering what it’s all about. Lacrosse is no exception. You might have heard it’s coming to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in an exciting 6-a-side format, but what exactly is Lacrosse?
Why You’ll Love Lacrosse
Lacrosse is a fast, free-flowing sport that combines elements of hockey, football, and basketball. It is known as the fastest game on two feet!
It is played by both men and women in different ways: outdoor field lacrosse, indoor box lacrosse, and the fast-paced elite-level 6-a-side format.
Mixed lacrosse can also be played and is considered the most social and inclusive version of the game.
England’s men are currently ranked 6th globally, and the women are 3rd. Both teams are reigning European Champions.
How do you Play?
Players use a stick with a netted head, called a crosse, to catch, carry, and throw a small rubber ball. The goal is simple: get the ball into the other team’s net!
The game kicks off with a draw where two players compete to move the ball to their team members. From there, teams pass, run, and dodge their way towards the goal. Midfielders help out both ends, defenders try to stop attacks, attackers focus on scoring, and the goalie protects the net.
A Little History
Lacrosse originated in North America, where Indigenous people played a game called Baggataway as far back as 1100 AD. This version could be played by up to 1000 men over several days and was considered to be ceremonial warfare! Today, lacrosse has evolved into a fast, fun, and energetic modern sport.
Light Rules (The Fun Version!)
Dropped balls become ground balls, which both teams race to recover, keeping the pace quick and exciting.
There are no restrictions on where players can move to, except for the goalie, who can’t cross the far restrainer.
No heavy body contact is allowed, it’s all about skill, speed, and clever stick work.
Defenders keep a safe distance when marking attackers, but there’s plenty of room to show off.
With simple rules and endless action, lacrosse is a blast whether you’re playing competitively or just for fun! Lacrosse is now played in community clubs, schools and universities throughout England, with Liverpool being one of the oldest Clubs around. The Cricket Club has been Liverpool Lacrosse’s home for over 15 years now, with a focus on both competition and enjoyment. So join in the fun at LCC →
What a season it’s been! Record-breaking cricket triumphs, remarkable resilience on the tennis courts and a proud showing on the greens, Liverpool Cricket & Sports Club has enjoyed a truly unforgettable summer of sport. Let us not forget the International Tennis Tournament & hosting the Lancashire One-Day test matches, making the summer of 2025 a year that will be remembered for years to come.

BOWLS
Pensioners’ League Team
Came third in a highly competitive league and reached the final of the Savage Trophy knockout competition, where they narrowly lost on a neutral green.
The Wednesday A team
Back in the top division of the Garston League in 2025 following our league victory in the second division in 2024 where we obtained a very creditable 4th place finish.
Highlight matches included-
Our first win at Mossley Hill in a long time against their B team.
A solid home victory against a strong Halewood A team.
An excellent home win in our final game of the season versus Mossley Hill A team who were challenging for the league.
League Cup Competition: The Kerr Shield
The team really excelled however when we reached the final, we played Grant who were top of the league table. In an incredibly tight match, we were pipped to the post, only losing by 7 points.
Despite the disappointment of coming so close, we can look back on a fantastic cup run with pride. It was especially pleasing to have a substantial number of non-A team members in attendance, cheering the team on. Many thanks to those who came to show their support.
The Wednesday B team
A very successful year achieving a win against Aigburth St Michaels A team, who are a top team in the highest league, in a Cup competition.
The 2025 Graham Moore Memorial Cup took place on Sunday 28th September in glorious sunshine. With 32 players competing in this Special Pairs Competition, it was a brilliant day of bowling, laughter and community spirit.
It is an annual competition open to everyone! An established bowler partners with a newcomer or complete beginner. It is an opportunity for newcomers to learn bowls along with enjoying a great social gathering.
It was a joy to see so many new faces either playing or offering support for this fabulous celebration in memory of Graham. He was a much loved character who was a mainstay of the bowls section for many years. Sue Moore would like to thank everyone for their participation, organisation and generally being fun people!
The final of the 2025 Graham Moore Memorial Cup was a closely fought contest, Ray and Chelsea vs Frank and John. Commiserations to Ray and Chelsea and Congratulations to Frank and John – Great Final, Great Day!
We have lots of social bowls at the club, so if you fancy a go, get in touch with Bowls Secretary Dave Scanlon at davescanlon@msn.com.
If you were encouraged to “give bowls a go” following the day’s fantastic turn-out, you will be warmly welcomed. Also, there is bowls training headed up by Olwen, which will re-commence at the start of the bowls season, next Spring. Find out more HERE
Our Cricket Men’s 1st Team faced their penultimate game of the season on Saturday 13th September, where they were on the edge of promotion up to the premier league after a strong season. All they needed was a win or draw against Spring View on Saturday to guarantee their move up to the top.
Now, if you know cricket you’ll know that when a game gets cancelled, the score goes down as a draw, and due to some bad weather on the day, that exactly what happened! So after waiting over 25 years, the Cricket Men’s 1st Team have been promoted back up to the Premier League!!!
Next season, they’ll face Ormskirk CC where 2025 marks the first time in the club’s history that the 1st XI have won the Premier League three times in succession. Their players who have gone to first class cricket include the likes of Tom Hartley, Simon Kerrigan & John Simpson. They’ll also face Northern CC who’s finished inside the Top 5 of the Premier League every year for the last 10 years.
They’re not the only ones making history though as LCC are back in the premier league for the first time since 1999, so this team has a point to prove next season! Up the cherries! 🍒🍒
