L&F Culture Corner

Not only are L&F blessed with some of the finest cricketers in the greater Leyland and Farington area, we also have an abundance of highly creative individuals.  Finally some of these tortured souls have an outlet for their talents:

Wicket! - A painting capturing the energy and emotion of taking a wicket by the renowned Italian impressionist artist Matti Madigaino.

This Club is Your Club -  An adaptation of the US folk song 'This Land is Your Land' made famous by Woody Guthrie. Lyrics by Marxist idealist and prominent social commentator Sean Dunk.   Due for release as a single on Wade Hall Records in October.

THIS CLUB IS YOUR CLUB 
words by Sean Dunk, music Woody Guthrie

Chorus:
This club is your club, this club is my club
From Terry Wilson, to Graham Jackson
From the stalwart member, to the littlest fella'
This club was made for you and me

As I was batting against Leyland Motors
I saw before me a glorified works team
The result doesn't matter, they'll never beat us
This club was made for you and me

I've played and missed and I've danced down the track
To the tempting spin of an occasional bowler
And all the time my teammates were thinking
This club was made for you and me 

Chorus

This ground is your ground, this ground is my ground
From Aidan's Mums house, to the lightbulb scoreboard
From the old pavilion, to the Worden Park side
This ground was made for you and me

The sun comes shining as we were bowling
The ball stops swinging and the score is rising
Our heads were dropping but a voice was shouting
This club belongs to you and me

Chorus x2
