In July 1981 the late Russell Clegg organised a 'Folk Club
Swap' with a difference. A 'friendly' cricket match took place on the Sunday
afternoon followed by a buffet at Milnrow's Waggon Inn prior to the the start
of the evenings Folk Club session, which was shared by both clubs.
Even though Russell ended the afternoon in Rochdale Infirmary, due to a cut
head inflicted by a ball in the 4th delivery of the first over, this didn't
prevent him not only appearing at the Folk Club at night but also going on
to organise many more cricket matches for the now named 'Kamikaze Cricket
Club' over the following years involving the Folk fraternity. They even included
matches known as 'The Kamikazes On Tour.
These photos were taken during their first few games and have been included
in Russell's memory.
