John, In 2017 I compiled a history on Broughton and Kirby in the Langbaurgh West Rural League for the period 1929-1939.
If you would like a copy and you think it relevant to Yorkshire village cricket you are more than welcome.

Hi Tim, well done for compiling the history, these things take time and dedication.
I tend not to do histories but imagine you’d find quite a difference in the game in the 100 years since.
Enjoy your village cricket wherever it takes you this season.
