Woodlands

Posted by Peter Davies

Another Bradford afternoon

I had planned a few games in the Bradford area but the weather was poor. In the end we went to Woodlands only - and that game had been called off on the Thursday!

So we had a drink in the bar and got chatting with two very friendly club officials (my friend Stuart Tordoff wasn't there unfortunately).

A very impressive club - great PR and some very nice facilities, including a sports hall which was now the main income-earner for the club.

We also chatted about Richard Pyrah, who had played some of his best cricket at Woodlands but who was, fundamentally, an Ossett boy at heart.

PR is important in all walks of life and I was mightily impressed by Woodlands'. Really made me want to visit when cricket was on. Well done OCC.

Also took some photos and had a wander round. Really likeable club.
