Favourite Bench

Saturday 24 July

Posted by Peter Davies

A late-afternoon visit to Lidgett Lane, home of Skelmanthorpe CC. Very pleasant. The home side scored 157 against Slaithwaite, with the Colne Valleyers passing their target with only two wickets to spare. Skelmanthorpe is fast becoming one of my favourite grounds. It's close to where I live in Shelley, is always busy, and thriving, and the overall impression is one of a well appointed and incredibly well run club. Plus the teas are good, I have a favourite bench, and in charge at the club are two women: Margaret Dollive and Beverley Crossland. Is that a coincidence?
