《 FTF = Finlay & His Drudge 5/1/15》 About Albert's Park: Weirs Cricket Club. The enigmatic artisans of Glasgow’s southside. The small club with the bijou ground in Albert Park. With Clydesdale and Poloc on their doorstep, they have become an alternative choice if you wish to play SNCL cricket. Weirs once nestled comfortably in the lower echelons of Scottish club cricket, a journeyman outfit, a rough-and-ready works team, an anachronistic throwback to halcyon days of rough-hewn, no-nonsense cricketers. The club’s archive fixture lists read like a trawl through Clydeside’s proud industrial heritage: Albion Motors, Anchor, Barclay Curle, Barr and Stroud, Harland and Wolfe, Rolls-Royce and Scotts of Greenock. They were the working men of Weir’s Cricket Club, occupants of Albert Park founded in 1919, a minor pastoral oasis in south-side Glasgow, lying in the shadow of Weir’s Pumps factory. The ground was constructed by Weir’s Pumps as a recreational outlet for the employees, many of whom had just returned from the horrors of the Great War. Football, bowls, tennis, croquet and cricket were to be the sports available within a Recreation Club structure. In the post war era, cricket clubs attached to factories or other large work places were relatively common. Nowadays, Weirs is almost unique in that respect. Source: Wikipedia
