Life lessons at Airedale as Denholme triumph

May 21, 2025 by Mark Doherty 2 Comments

Mark Doherty heads to Airedale Cricket Club where their 2nd XI hosted Denholme CC 2nd XI in this Craven and District Cricket League Division Four fixture. Argricultural at Otley I wasn’t sure if it would be a portent for my day as I filtered into the traffic that surrounded the Otley Show midmorning. I hadn’t […]

A King’s first: Super Kings debut at Collingham & Linton

May 14, 2025 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

The weather has been glorious over the past few weeks; chatting to one groundsman last weekend, they had noted that there had only been 0.7cm of rain in the past month, which was actually too little for keeping the grass in good condition and that the playing surface was suffering. Being a little selfish, it […]

Wilson double act leads Studley Royal to victory over Bolton Percy

May 8, 2025 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

My first game of the 2024 season was supposed to be at Goldsborough. I remember the day was pretty warm, the sky filled with fluffy white clouds dotted around the blue backdrop, and there was a light wind blowing from the farmer’s fields across the ground. The real problem was we’d had one of the […]

Caught Light: Reflections from a busy club cricket season

October 2, 2024 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

A rough count of grassroots cricket games I’ve been to this season, seems to come out at around 65. That is a personal best for a single season in the last decade, and I must admit for the vast majority of visits, it has been a real pleasure. As October arrives, I wanted to sit […]

Close call: Sicklinghall snatch second and go up on net run rate

September 25, 2024 by Mark Doherty 2 Comments

The last day of the Theakston Nidderdale League threatened to feature the same weather that dominated it in April. The forecast on Wednesday/Thursday suggested an overcast day with spells of light rain, and potentially the worst weather of the weekend at any rate. However, on Saturday morning I pulled the bedroom curtains apart like a […]

Beckwithshaw win promotion to the Aire-Wharfe Premier Division

September 18, 2024 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

Looking back to September 2022, Beckwithshaw faced probably their fiercest local rivals, knowing that they had to win to retain their top-flight status. Ultimately, the visitors to The Stag Den, Bilton, dominated the game, relegating Beckwithshaw’s first team to Division Two. I was sitting on the boundary rope that day, covering what had been another […]

Darley beat the rain and claim the points over Birstwith

September 10, 2024 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

The weekend’s weather forecast was poor, with Saturday’s oulook slightly better than Sunday. In the end, Sunday was a complete washout with persistent rain falling most of the daylight hours. Looking out of the window on Saturday morning, it was murky and damp. Autumn had arrived in force, with a healthy mist blanketing a lot […]

Blubberhouses rain boundaries on scenic Birstwith

September 4, 2024 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

It’s becoming tough to select games to cover at the weekends – this isn’t down to a lack of fixtures available to choose from, but more to do with trying to select games with teams that I haven’t covered in at least the past couple of seasons. Looking through the fixture list on Play Cricket, […]

Crakehall glide to victory at Burton Leonard Cricket Club

August 28, 2024 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

Friday’s Storm Lilian caused havoc around the county [and further afield watching the news]. The winds had seemingly come and gone in a blink of an eye, but in that time had left trees down, branches strewn across roads, roofs and other susceptible structures minus a tile here and a trampoline there. Through my own […]

Bradford Park Avenue Ladies win at Crossflatts to go top

August 15, 2024 by Mark Doherty Leave a Comment

There were a few games being held on Sunday and to be totally honest, the choice was made for me – considering the top two in the league were playing each other. What league? What top two? I hear you ask. Well, as you may or may not know [depending on whether you have read […]
