Iggy’s Fund: Remembering a gentle giant and apple crumble

April 14, 2025 by John Fuller 1 Comment

I spotted a LinkedIn post and it gave me pause to smile, think of a friend who is no longer with us, his wonderful family and the legacy he has left behind. It also prompted fond flashbacks of apple crumble but we’ll come to that. Alan Igglesden (above right), known to everyone as Iggy, played […]

Yorkshire’s Class of 2024: The Bowlers

October 7, 2024 by John Fuller 1 Comment

There have been many incredible individual performances across the 2024 cricket season. Using Play-Cricket data, we’ve put together this shortlist to highlight the leading match figures in Yorkshire. 👏 Top of the pile is Sam Potter’s scarcely believable 10 wickets for 1 run. I can’t confirm this but presumably it’s the best bowling performance in […]

Aire-Wharfe: Fitting finale at Addingham Cricket Club

September 24, 2024 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

A return to Addingham Cricket Club was long overdue; I came close in the National Village Cup until the game with Scottish side, Falkland, was won by the hosts by walkover due to a clash with cup competitions.

It was an overcast day that threatened rain but thankfully, none materialised which meant an uninterrupted programme for the Quaid e Azam Sunday Cricket League’s T20 Finals […]

Lightcliffe Cricket Club: A new home for a new era

June 28, 2024 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

Lightcliffe Cricket Club has changed quite a bit since I last came to this scenic Calderdale village. They’ve driven a digger through the red and white wooden pavilion and flattened it for a start. In its place is a handsome, modern pavilion that is the equal of anything I’ve seen in Yorkshire. But we’ll come […]
