A FAMOUS RECORD

On 30 August 1997, Shireshead & Forton 1st XI scored 360 for 8 off 45 overs in a Westmorland League match.

At the time this was the highest score ever recorded in village league cricket in North Lancashire or South Cumbria, and has still not been surpassed in the higher divisions. The total number of runs scored in the match [S & F 360/8, Trimpell 164/8 = 524] remains a record for all divisions.
