Martin Eede reveals how a small village in East Yorkshire embarked on their first-ever international tour to Bulgaria. Yapham play against Bulgaria at cricket? It seemed improbable a year ago when my son, who had transferred to the British Embassy, got in touch. As it happens, the ambassador, a
Hey everyone. If you're on this page, you've deliberately clicked on a post about a cricket survey. Thanks and good for you. Ok, so surveys are not the most exciting piece of content on the web but they're invaluable and once a year, Cricket
A few weeks back in September, the final round of Central Yorkshire Cricket League Premier Division matches proved a welcome afternoon of cricket watching. As some of you will know, the Central Yorkshire Cricket League has voted to become part of the new Bradford Premier League with Yorkshire prepped for
The way amateur cricket in Yorkshire is structured has changed to provide a clear path to the summit for any club in Yorkshire. Where possible, bones of contention such as travelling times have also been chewed over to try to provide a sane solution. Here's what we know.
Steve Wales, Yorkshire Over 50s captain, reflects on representing Yorkshire, culminating in an outstanding 2015 season where the county won the ECB 50+ County Championship convincingly with a nine-wicket victory in the Final at Knibworth CC against Staffordshire. Three years ago, I was talking to Peter Graham in his
The Cricket Photo of the Year category of the Cricket Yorkshire Awards asked entrants to pick up to three of their best cricket photos for submission. Have a look through as we celebrate the range of photography of Yorkshire cricket, both professional and amateur. JEREMY LONSDALE (WINNER) 10 May 2015,
The votes are in, they’ve been independently checked by Doris from Doncaster and…ok, ok, I’ll behave. This is the first year of the Cricket Yorkshire Awards, launched in August to showcase and champion creativity and innovation across websites, writing, photography and social media in Yorkshire cricket. Thanks
Pudsey St Lawrence have claimed the JCT600 Bradford League title - the club’s first in twenty-four years - after they won at Cleakheaton by 66 runs. It is perhaps fitting that a squad, none of whom had ever won the Bradford League before, snapped up the Bradford League before it
Ok, so that's a rhetorical question....which will lead me ingeniously to the real, cunning motive behind this plea. You can do a lot in five minutes. Make a cuppa and raid the biscuit tin for good measure. Bowl an over (if the ball doesn’t get bunted
Picture this, if you will... Somewhere in a glitzy, Hollywood venue, sweaty Yorkshire batsmen, with grass stains covering their buttocks, pick mud from their spikes while waiting to hear if they've won summat. Umpires, sticklers for presentation, sit all present and correct, white coats ironed within an inch
This is the first time I've written for Cricket Yorkshire, and all of sudden, I'm overcome with the urge to be honest... Maybe it's pressure? Maybe it's guilt? Here goes, my confession is... I'm not good at cricket and neither
The Yorkshire Cricket Board (YCB) have held their annual awards ceremony to recognise the outstanding contributions across Yorkshire recreational cricket. Reflecting the growing appreciation for volunteers and interest in the Outstanding Services to Cricket Awards (OSCAs), this year's event moved from Stumps restaurant to Headingley Carnegie pavilion.

Of the 750 or so clubs across Yorkshire, many boast a charm of their own due to geography, history and often as not, the people who live and breath the game. The point of this particular Saturday afternoon was to go along and hear from those at a progressive club
The 576 Halifax bus from Bradford wheezed and strained its way up Great Horton Road, up, up and away, further into the clouds until reaching the village of Queensbury. Deposited opposite Oxford Road, the last bit on foot takes the intrepid traveller up a quiet country lane to the highest
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
As size of counties go, Yorkshire is vast. If Google is to be believed, it runs to 11,903 metres squared - and they have scanned everywhere with their StreetView project so they ought to know. A Yorkshire population of 5.3 million equates to that of Scotland and a land
