Premier League: Doncaster Town Women claim the points at Saxton

September 7, 2023 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

Our sat-nav was flipping out: “What on earth are you doing?! Turn around NOW!” It tends to do that when we ignore the suggested route – in this case, missing out motorways for a trip to the village of Saxton. It particularly freaked out when we got to the East Leeds Orbital Route that wasn’t […]

Aire-Wharfe: Green Lane sweep to victory at blustery Steeton

August 21, 2023 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

I hadn’t been to Steeton Cricket Club for years but the first team’s home fixture against Green Lane offered a chance to rectify that. Steeton is a village off the A629 as you wind your way North towards the market town of Skipton. It is home to Grandma Wild’s Biscuits, Airedale General Hospital and a […]

Halifax League: Thornton lift the 135th Parish Cup at Copley

August 16, 2023 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

bowler's mark - club cricket in yorkshire

There is only so much checking out a weather forecast on the Met Office website before you have to make a decision.  The rain sweeping in from the West on Saturday looked as if it might not impact Wetherby too much, so we packed up and headed off to Collingham and Linton Cricket Club for […]
