Boxing Day cricket

Posted by Tony Hutton

Despite the recent bad weather, with more to come, which has led to the cancellation of several meetings and Christmas functions, we are able to bring you some good news.

The Northern Cricket Society's annual Boxing Day game at North Leeds cricket club has taken place for over 60 years, whatever the weather, but this year the game looked in jeopardy due to difficulties in raising a team.

However I am pleased to report that the NCS secretary Harry Jackson has been able to obtain a Wetherby cricket league eleven to represent the Society. The team will be captained by Richard Grogan, former captain of Church Fenton CC who has recently moved to Shadwell CC.

Please note that the game this year is being played on MONDAY 27th DECEMBER starting at 11 a.m. The North Leeds ground is at the Homestead,Old Park Road,Roundhay,Leeds.
Refreshments will be available and the bar will be open for what is an excellent social occasion for all cricket lovers.

Compliments of the season to all our readers.
