NEW PAVILIONS IN THE CRAVEN LEAGUE.

By Brian Sanderson,

This ground was Hawoth West End however there was no match their seconds should have been playing Chatburn .
Great views again but why was the cancelled match on the web-site.At least we found as a numberous of p.c.w have failed.
Signed outside the Hawoth ground advertising the match. Another scenic ground.
Beautiful houses  on one side of the ground.
New pavilion which had a wood burning fire were two of the locals were drinking their beer and thought I was from a newspaper.
Oakworth new pavilion their seconds were playing Sandy Lane.
An old roller behind the scorebox.Mick Bourne is not forgotten and this could go in the rollers graveyard.
Oakwoth second ground were their third team were playing Riddlesden seconds. A young left arm bowler had taken six wickets.
Ingrow were playing Barrowford seconds who are based in Lancashire and one of their players struggled to find th ground but Ron sat-nav -Denton had no problem.Another new pavilion built with the help of Lottery funds.
More great views while we were drinking our tea supplied by the kind tea ladies.Some people had sandwiches and cakes.
View of the locked pavilion Long Lee had been bowled out for 63 by Cononley.
Near the ground is The Dickie Bird pub.He must have got a free meal.

Next ground was Airedale who were playing Hawoth seconds. This is where Leeds Radio man Nick Ahad plays. It is in the National Trust ground of East Riddleston Hall. We only went to this ground as we missed the turn off for the Riddlesden ground but great views again of the moors.
