Club cricket is back and you could hear the collective sigh of relief all over Yorkshire. Mrs Cricket Yorkshire and I went to Bingley Congs to catch some overs. The excitement at catching the first glimpse of cricketers in whites at a distance through a copse of trees was an emotional tug. The Congs Seconds […]

Leeds Bradford MCCU scorch to Lord’s Final win
Leeds Bradford MCCU got their hands on some silverware at the third time of asking in an eventful season with a convincing victory over Cardiff at Lords. The squad lost out in two semi-finals in June in other formats but this 117-run triumph at the home of cricket (after Scarborough, obviously) will go some way […]
Yorkshire Women dominate at Harrogate
Yorkshire Women visited Harrogate Cricket Club on Sunday for the Royal London One Day Cup against Middlesex; a chance to see how Mark Loker’s squad fared in this fifty-over competition.

Bradford Park Avenue cricket

Aire Wharfe Cricket: Olicanian vs Calverley
After a stint covering the action at Ilkley Cricket Club on Saturday, the proximity of more cricket was too tempting to pass up so it was on to Olicanian Cricket Club whose firsts were at home and taking on Calverley St Wilifrid’s CC. From Ilkley’s ground, you scooch down Denton Road, passing Ilkley Lido on […]
Ilkley Cricket Club vs Rawdon
It was a productive Saturday of club cricket with the sun out although a fierce wind that could strip the warmth from bone marrow in seconds made it a three-jumper strategy out on the cricket fields around Ilkley. Cricket Yorkshire was there, alternating between a barrage of images with the DSLR camera and then driven […]
PHOTOS: Cheteshwar Pujara arrives and hit the nets
Cheteshwar Arvind Pujara is here. Well, not here in the Cricket Office office, that really would be a scoop. No, he’s arrived at Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Friday morning saw the sun shine at Headingley and he was into the nets to shake off the jetlag. As an Indian coming to Yorkshire to play […]
