Here is an introduction to each of Cricket Yorkshire’s commercial partners for 2023.
In addition to those featured below, there are companies that work with Cricket Yorkshire to advertise on the website (including the Suppliers Guide) or newsletter on an ad-hoc basis throughout each year.
Companies interested in being a Cricket Yorkshire partner are welcome to get in touch to see how this website’s content could fit into your marketing. Alternatively, here’s our partnership details.
We have 110,000 readers a year and 15,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter. For over a decade, Cricket Yorkshire has been a trusted voice covering stories across recreational cricket.
Serious Cricket is a leading name in cricket equipment and teamwear, supplying 1,000+ clubs. That trust partly comes from the fact they make, embroider and print the garments themselves in the UK. It means the whole design process from concept to finished kit is in-house and able to be done quickly and confidently.
The cricket retailer has an impressive stock of bats, equipment and clothing from all the major brands for cricketers to buy.
OFFER: For clubs buying teamwear, we have an offer where you get 2 x sets of personalized cricket stumps worth £140 – if your club signs up for Serious Cricket Teamwear via this website.
A close relationship with the governing body of all amateur cricket in Yorkshire has always been important.
