Recently I received a bag full of membership cards and minutes books for the above club.As I forgo reading the morning paper ,I started scanning some of the cards.The club was established in 1870 but there is no memorabilia for that time. The earlist card was 1890 but no fixtures enclosed,However in the 1896 book was a list.
April 25 -Elsecar, May 9 - Shire Green , May 23 - Barnes Green, May 20 - Stead Lane
June 13 - Wortley June 15- Elscar June 16 - Thorpe, June 20 -Wentworth.
June 27- Ecclesfield, July 4- Wortley, July 11- Barnes Green July 18- Stannington.
July 25 - Wentworth Aug 1 -Kimberworth. Aug 8- Shire Green , Aug 15 - Ecclesfield.
Aug 22- Kimberworth Aug 29- Stannington.
Most of these matches were in the Chapeltown and District League which is no longer in extinction. I feel it is very important to keep records of old clubs and leagues.Unless it is done now more club records will be lost and peoples memoirs of the clubs will also be lost.
So please League and clubs keep your records safe and also scan them so other people can see them. Also I would be interested to now of any records of the above cricket clubs.
