Richard Connolly, Mesothelioma and Glodwick CC

Share Page

Story

Richard Connolly was only 52 when his life was cut short by mesothelioma, a form of cancer triggered by exposure to asbestos dust.

Prior to his illness Richard's life was centred on his family, wife Lisa and sons Nathan and Matty, his career, and sport where his enthusiasm was boundless. He played football with Oldham Hulmeians, watched his team Oldham Athletic, and loved all things cricket, especially his team Glodwick CC.

On March 17 starting at 9.30am friends from Glodwick and Hulmeians are joining forces to raise funds for mesothelioma research and Glodwick CC through a sponsored walk. It will start at one spiritual home, Old Trafford Cricket Ground, pass the second, Boundary Park Football Ground, and finish at the third, Glodwick CC.

All funds donated will be sent initially to Glodwick CC for subsequent sharing with Mesothelioma UK (reg Charity 1177039)

Please join us or donate in memory of Richard

Glodwick Cricket Club

Glodwick Cricket Club provides a much needed recreational facility in a deprived area of Oldham.

Twenty years ago it was one of the many former church and works teams playing at the most minor level in league cricket. It then took the massive step of joining the Saddleworth League, and as a result of subsequent league reorganisations it now plays in the Greater Manchester Cricket League

Over the last ten years it has tasted both outstanding success and painful failure. In 2014 it won the Saddleworth League. In each of 2016 and 2019 one of its junior sides was county champions, and in 2019 the club won its place in the premier division of the GMCL, the pinnacle of local league cricket. But in the last two years the club has struggled, suffering relegation in both 2021 and 2022

It now fields three senior and six junior sides. Nearly every Saturday and Sunday in the season there are matches at the ground and you would be most welcome if you came down
