CRICKET FROM THE NORTH: Sunny Shelley

Sunny Shelley

A short stay at Shelley CC, my local ground. Sat in my usual spot outside the pavilion and was enjoying the sun. By chance I happened upon the tea lady, a lady I had interviewed for the Project. She had come out of retirement to help the club out once a fortnight, having been senior tea lady maybe 10 or 20 years ago. Jean or Joan she was called. I enjoyed the Shelley sun and her excellent cheese sandwich.

About the project:

This blog was originated in 2008 as an offshoot of the separate website ‘The cricket history of Calderdale and Kirklees’ which covered in depth the histories of every league cricket club in these two areas of West Yorkshire. Unfortunately this site fell into disuse although there are now plans to reinstate it by the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation.

Meanwhile the blog has gone its own way and has expanded into a review of cricket at all levels throughout the north of England, both past and present. The three current bloggers are all Yorkshire based. Tony Hutton and John Winn are both members of Durham and Yorkshire county clubs and Brian Sanderson is an active member of the Yorkshire archives committee.

We have now recruited Lancashire based Mike Latham, well known in both cricket and rugby league circles, to provide an ever wider coverage of cricket from the north.
