RIP John Downs 🏏

Very sad news of the passing of John Downs, a true South Shore Cricket & Squash Club man.

John gave so much to the club over the years. He played cricket and squash, served as Chairman at one point and went on to become President, a role he held with great pride and dedication.

In more recent years, John could be found enjoying a game of snooker, continuing his involvement and friendship with fellow club members.

He was a much-loved and respected member of the club, and his contribution, friendship and memories will live on for many years to come.

Our deepest condolences to John’s family and friends at this very sad time.

Rest in peace, John. A true club man who will be greatly missed. 🏏

Any male who is 17+ our open age team are looking for new players to join no experience needed

🦂 MEN’S OPEN AGE PLAYERS WANTED 🏉💪

We’re recruiting new players for our Men’s Open Age team, so if you’re male and aged 17+, we want to hear from you!

We’ve had another great pre-season training session this week, with a brilliant mix of ages from 17 right up to 40 proving that age really is just a number.

Over the last two weeks, 6 new lads have joined and settled in like they’ve been part of the Scorps family for years.
No experience needed our coaching team includes players with Super League and National Conference experience, so whether you’re brand new or a seasoned player, you’ll be supported.

We’re proud to be the only rugby league club in Blackpool, Fylde and the Wyre Coast to have an open age team competing every year for many years.

So if you want to get fit, meet new mates and be part of a proper rugby league family, now’s the time to get involved.
