York & District Senior Cricket League

Foss Evening Cricket League action at Dunnington

May 31, 2023 by Andrew Gallon Leave a Comment

In the ‘groundhopping’ game, there’s always one that gets away. Somehow, despite living in York for longer than I’ve lived anywhere else (which, having terribly itchy feet, isn’t saying a great deal), I managed to miss visiting Dunnington Cricket Club when they were playing ECB Premier Division cricket. At the end of the 2021 season, […]

Andrew Gallon journeys to Norwood where Beverley Town 1st XI play Folkton & Flixton in their last home match of the York & District Senior Cricket League.

Nick Briggs: 2,000 wickets and counting

August 9, 2021 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

Nick Briggs - 2,000 wickets in Yorkshire club cricket

In my line of work, I see a lot of seriously impressive performances in recreational cricket. One, well two, that spring to mind of late are Ben Morley’s record-breaking 237 not out off just 143 balls for Rawdon in the Aire-Wharfe Cricket League, followed by 199 the next day in the Waddilove Cup Final. A […]

York Senior League: Why Pocklington turned down cricket

August 5, 2020 by John Fuller Leave a Comment

Pocklington-CC-from-the-air

The decision by Pocklington Cricket Club not to play any league cricket in 2020 (due to Covid-19) can’t have been easy. When I heard, I thought they’d be a very rare exception but the reality is that clubs have opted not to participate in leagues across Yorkshire, due to worries over Covid-19. It’s important to […]

August 3, 2020 by Cricket Yorkshire 10 Comments
