Pontefract & District League: Down to the wire at Feverley Hills

July 8, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

Two days before my trip to Thornton Dale, I had been in the markedly different surroundings of Featherstone, a former pit village synonymous with – and renowned for ­– rugby league. They used to say, if you were after a decent scrum-half, all you had to do was whistle down the shaft of one of […]

Mick Savage Trophy action from Penistone Cricket Club

July 2, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

Penistone Cricket Club’s Queen Street ground could look very different when the 2025 Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League season gets underway. The club, whose First XI play – and are going great guns – in Division Two, the league’s fourth tier, hope next spring to unveil a state-of-the-art pavilion. According to Penistone Cricket & Sports […]

Huddersfield Cricket League: Sixes among the alpacas at Denby

June 27, 2024 by Andrew Gallon 2 Comments

It is going to be impossible to write about a visit to Denby Cricket Club, one of many smashing grounds in the Huddersfield League, without mentioning Chris Holliday.  So, I’ll do it straightaway (right off the bat, as it were). In 2020, which will go down in cricket history as ‘The COVID Season’, Holliday, then […]

Ilkley Cricket Club host Saltaire in Waddilove Cup

June 25, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

In Ilkley, there is no escaping the presence of the eponymous moor, subject of Yorkshire’s unofficial anthem – and it dominates the Ilkley Cricket Club ground. Its gaunt, at times austerely blank, mass rises impressively and inexorably to the south. As the afternoon sun swings round, highlighting the moor’s dots and dashes, first-time visitors will […]

Bradford Premier League: Wrenthorpe win the Battle of Adwalton

June 11, 2024 by Andrew Gallon 2 Comments

Visiting cricket grounds and sites of famous battles. Would that combo work for you? I gave it a shot last week: Saxton Cricket Club (Foss Evening League, Division Four) and the Battle of Towton (1461); Northallerton Town Cricket Club (North Yorkshire & South Durham Premier League, Collingwood Hundred, Round One) and the Battle of the […]

From pitch to pinnacle: Upper Hopton progress in Parish Cup

June 4, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

“It’s a long walk for a duck!” The words of Luddendenfoot opener Harry Denham after his first over dismissal at Upper Hopton Cricket Club’s Sutcliffe Memorial Ground. Playing in a Halifax League Parish Cup second-round tie, Denham had almost scaled the summit of a taxing, 45-step climb from pitch to clubhouse at what must be […]

Northallerton & District Evening League: Thornton-le-Moor on the up

May 24, 2024 by Andrew Gallon 4 Comments

It is always good to visit a cricket club then learn about encouraging developments. Very much the case when a Thursday found me at Thornton-le-Moor Cricket Club, to watch a game against Ingleby Cross in the tiny Northallerton & District Evening League.  With just seven members (the others being East Harlsey, Hutton Rudby, Northallerton, Northallerton […]

Ken Welsh Cup: Friday night T20 from Yarm

May 23, 2024 by Andrew Gallon 1 Comment

The North Yorkshire & South Durham Premier League appears to have more cup competitions than you can shake a stick at. Spectators are spoilt for choice! Always keen to try something new, in this case the Ken Welsh Cup, I had a drive up the A19 to Teesside, an old stomping ground of mine, for […]

Wildflower meadows and special branches at Hundhill Hall

May 15, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

A season or two ago, whilst exchanging emails with a very helpful Pontefract & District League secretary, I asked if he could recommend any particularly attractive and/or interesting cricket grounds in his competition. Hundhill Hall Cricket Club’s ground, off Sandygate Lane, in the farming village of East Hardwick, three miles south of central Pontefract, made […]

Ryedale Beckett League: Lost balls and stained whites at Harome

May 14, 2024 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

In common with every other cricket enthusiast, I found April a frustrating month, as rain, rain then a bit more rain dashed my spectating plans. So, the early May arrival of long overdue sunshine and warmth saw me scrambling to find a midweek fixture belatedly to get my 2024 season up and running. Keen as […]
