Brews on the Boundary: Travels to Yorkshire’s cricket clubs is my new club cricket book that was published on 8 June 2026.
This is an entertaining travelogue around Yorkshire’s cricket clubs from the 2024 & 2025 seasons with my adventures, conversations and observations.
👋 You can read an extract from the book here.
It’s a fun and easy read celebrating the grounds, teams and leagues, as I meet those volunteers – from groundskeepers to those who make the teas.

Here are a couple of book reviews…
John has a real gift for finding stories that might otherwise go unnoticed. He writes with warmth, curiosity, and genuine affection for the places and people he meets. As you read, you get the feeling you’re travelling alongside him, sharing a mug of tea, watching a game unfold, and listening to conversations that are funny, touching, and unmistakably Yorkshire.

Picked this up at The Grove and it’s been a delightful companion to a couple of weeks at the beach and many overs of beach cricket. Bravo!

Thanks to those snapping up their copy, some got it for a summer read to take on holiday or as a gift for someone.
Best wishes and I look forward to hearing what you think of my latest club cricket book.
