Parish Cup: Cullingworth welcome Mount to Roydwood

May 21, 2025 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

Who is the only US president to have received a Purple Heart? How many bones are there in an adult human skeleton? Who was the first woman in space? A fellow spectator, at Cullingworth Cricket Club’s Roydwood ground, was a quiz enthusiast. In addition to learning stuff I didn’t know, I realised, in some quarters, […]

Sambuca, Swans and stunning catches at Burton Salmon

May 13, 2025 by Andrew Gallon 2 Comments

Marooned amid acre upon acre of flat, fertile crop fields, almost a mile from the eponymous village, Burton Salmon Cricket Club is splendidly isolated. Located next to Burton Common Lane, a dead end, single-track and at this time of year cow parsley-fringed byway, which eventually peters out at a farm, the Burton Salmon ground is […]

Knaresborough stun York in YPLN Premier Division win

May 6, 2025 by Andrew Gallon 1 Comment

As you would expect of a cricket club established as long ago as 1815, Knaresborough have a storied history. Topping the remarkable achievements of the 1970s will take some doing. In an unparalleled run of success, featuring numerous league and cup triumphs, Knaresborough dominated the Airedale & Wharfedale Senior League. But the club’s Class of […]

Village Cup defeat but lease, grants and facilities boost at Hensall

April 16, 2025 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

There is a lot happening at Hensall Cricket Club, as I discovered when visiting their Bird Lane ground to watch a preliminary round tie in the 2025 Voneus National Village Cup. Hensall, who this season will play at tier four – Division One Ebor – of Yorkshire Premier League North (YPLN), gave Group Three (North […]

Andrew’s ground-hopping: 11 cricket grounds in Yorkshire

September 9, 2024 by Andrew Gallon 6 Comments

I’ve done quite a few more cricket-watching miles – inside and outside Yorkshire – than my 2024 Miles Per Gallon reports suggest. Nice to reflect, briefly, on visits to 11 Yorkshire grounds which, for one reason or another, didn’t receive a ‘full’ write-up.’ One sultry June evening, I was very pleased finally to see cricket […]

Clayton close on Halifax League Premier Division

September 4, 2024 by Andrew Gallon 8 Comments

Having earmarked a fixture with ‘meaning’ for each team, the final Saturday of my 2024 season found me at Clayton Cricket Club, west of – and high above – central Bradford. Clayton were hosting Halifax League rivals Upper Hopton; a crunch instalment – “huge”, according to Clayton’s social media – in the Division One (i.e. […]

125 Not Out – Wath Cricket Club claim crucial relegation win

August 29, 2024 by Andrew Gallon 2 Comments

Shortly before the start of the season, I had a look through MCC’s 2024 fixture list. Each year, ‘Egg and Bacon’ representative teams visit clubs, of all sizes, across Britain, to take part in celebration matches, often held in midweek. Sure enough, on Thursday, August 22, MCC were scheduled to play at Wath Cricket Club, […]

Midweek cricket at Nostell St Oswald

August 23, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

England’s strolling mercenaries on the telly? Or live midweek cricket on a gloriously sunny June evening? No contest, really. Off to Nostell St Oswald Cricket Club I went. There aren’t that many Tuesday evening cricket options in Yorkshire, but the Pontefract & District League’s two-division Evening League has Tuesday as its match night. The hideous […]

Patrington edge Brandesburton in Premier Division Two race

August 20, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

You would expect, come mid-August, sixth against seventh, in a 12-team competition, to be a dead rubber. Not in the 2024 Yorkshire Premier League North’s second tier! The league’s new Premier Division Two, to launch next year, will comprise teams placed second to sixth from this season’s Championship East and Championship West. The two 2024 […]

YCSPL: Oughtibridge win at Conisbrough to lead Division One

August 9, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

August promises to be an eventful time at Conisbrough Cricket Club. On the month’s opening Saturday, I dropped by the club’s St Peter’s Drive ground to watch an absorbing third-versus-first Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League clash with Division One promotion rivals Oughtibridge War Memorial, who edged a close encounter, by three wickets, with a little […]
