Extraordinary feats in Yorkshire as batters make hay

May 9, 2025 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

Untangling the spaghetti: Mapping out cricket fixtures

April 9, 2025 by Cricket Yorkshire 8 Comments

Tom Jenkins shares the incredible annual feat of how cricket fixtures at grassroots need to knit together, creating 2,000+ over his winter.

Celebrating league and cup doubles (and going undefeated)

September 16, 2024 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

After a season of LBWs, run outs, unplayable deliveries, huge sixes, drama and tension, many of Yorkshire’s cricket leagues have now been decided. Commiserations if your team is destined for a lower division in 2025. With luck and a fair wind, you’ll bounce back next year. But there are those who have not only won […]

No small beer: Lights, CAMRA, action at Barkisland

July 22, 2024 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

I don’t drink beer so an email dropping in about award-winning real ales initially didn’t set the pulse racing.   Sorry, Dave at Barkisland Cricket Club, you’d have reeled me in with a press release about Irn-Bru.   And yet…   I got to thinking about how cricket clubs become a point of difference, particularly in the many […]

Hutchinson fireworks light up Thornton’s title defence

June 7, 2024 by John Fuller 2 Comments

When it came to choosing Saturday’s fixture, several components slotted into place like Tetris. I figured my first ENCO Halifax Cricket League game this season was overdue.
