CRICKET FROM THE NORTH: LAST GROUND

Sunday 30 March 2014

LAST GROUND

By Brian Sanderson,

The final ground as Oughtbridge was again has a new pavilion after the Sheffield floods of a few years ago. It was locked up and next to another football ground. Would be nice in summer with the stream next to the ground which caused the flooding.

Finished at last with a headache and swearing at the computer. Headingley on Tuesday for the University match subject to the weather.

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.
