The votes are in, they’ve been independently checked by Doris from Doncaster and…ok, ok, I’ll behave. This is the first year of the Cricket Yorkshire Awards, launched in August to showcase and champion creativity and innovation across websites, writing, photography and social media in Yorkshire cricket. Thanks
Pudsey St Lawrence have claimed the JCT600 Bradford League title - the club’s first in twenty-four years - after they won at Cleakheaton by 66 runs. It is perhaps fitting that a squad, none of whom had ever won the Bradford League before, snapped up the Bradford League before it
The blurry man staring out at me shifts in his chair in Melbourne and tinkers with his webcam. Meet Dennis Freedman, creator of Dennis Does Cricket, a website Cricket Yorkshire has kept its beady eye on as part of a continual scour of the t’interweb thingy for inspiration. Occasionally,
Whisper it quietly but Yorkshire CCC have already defied history this season. If you glance back at those counties that win the County Championship, they don’t do it again the following season. I can imagine some of the more superstitious of you cringing at that. Ok, so they haven’
This is an interview about the damage the sun can do - and how being out in it watching or playing cricket can play its part - from Lawrence, Chairman of Rawdon Cricket Club who has also worked for years at the Yorkshire Cricket Board. Keen to raise awareness of skin cancer,
The news that BT Sport has won the UK TV rights to broadcast the next Ashes in Australia in 2017-18 was greeted here at CYHQ with a dollop of grumpiness, lashings of indignation and a sprinkling of excitement. The five-year deal between the broadcaster and Cricket Australia, understood
A few weekends back, Brian from the Cricket Heritage blog , offered his set of wheels and a pottering journey around Yorkshire league cricket grounds North of Leeds. The opportunity to ditch the camera in favour of just a smartphone (photos below) and the bus and rail timetables is a real
From time to time, writers submit their thoughts for consideration on Cricket Yorkshire and there's been some really popular articles around club cricket this season. As Yorkshire take their final few strides towards the LV=County Championship title (or not), it's the turn of county cricket
Spoiler alert. If you care about the game of cricket in any way, shape or form, the cricket documentary, Death of a Gentleman, will have you weeping into your popcorn - if you haven’t already chucked it at the screen when Giles Clarke appears. This is absorbing viewing, as skilfully
Ok, so that's a rhetorical question....which will lead me ingeniously to the real, cunning motive behind this plea. You can do a lot in five minutes. Make a cuppa and raid the biscuit tin for good measure. Bowl an over (if the ball doesn’t get bunted
Today’s adventure to the village of Glasshouses is a shunt north along the A59, dipping in and out of Nidderdale communities on the number 24 bus heading for Pateley Bridge. It’s pleasantly warm; sunshine peeks from behind candyfloss clouds to light up the Yorkshire countryside and the bus
View image | gettyimages.com Picture the scene - it's 1992 and Yorkshire County Cricket Club have finally decided to abandon their rule which allowed them to only select players born in Yorkshire. They were in the market for - whisper it quietly - an overseas player. "By 'eck...'
Picture this, if you will... Somewhere in a glitzy, Hollywood venue, sweaty Yorkshire batsmen, with grass stains covering their buttocks, pick mud from their spikes while waiting to hear if they've won summat. Umpires, sticklers for presentation, sit all present and correct, white coats ironed within an inch
While some cricket statistics remain etched into time like barnacles on a boat, others are at risk as were the sand castles braced for the lapping waves on Scarborough's North Bay Beach during this year's cricket festival. If the briefest summer shower of cricket stats is
So, Yorkshire County Cricket Club’s Andrew Gale has relinquished his limited-overs captaincy with immediate effect. The news comes in the wake of a poor NatWest T20 Blast campaign where the county under-performed and failed to make the knock-out stages. Gale also drew criticism from certain quarters
The Yorkshire Cricket Board (YCB) have held their annual awards ceremony to recognise the outstanding contributions across Yorkshire recreational cricket. Reflecting the growing appreciation for volunteers and interest in the Outstanding Services to Cricket Awards (OSCAs), this year's event moved from Stumps restaurant to Headingley Carnegie pavilion.
