Further to my last posting in which I touched upon the plans for the reorganisation of Yorkshire league cricket I can now add a little more information, this time taken from The Star (Sheffield) website. In an article headed 'Alliance League could merge with South Yorkshire League', Star correspondent Paul Goodwin discusses the possibility of a merger between The South Yorkshire Cricket Alliance and The South Yorkshire Cricket League. The Alliance is a fairly recent creation coming out of a merger between The Doncaster and District League and The Sheffield Cricket League.
As a tailpiece to this article Goodwin mentions the possibility of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and the two Sheffield clubs, Collegiate and United, being joined by seven South Yorkshire League clubs to form an ECB Premier League at the apex of the Yorkshire pyramid alongside the northern division I described on Friday. Despite the Star's article being dated 10th of October 2014 I can find no further reference to this subject on the websites of the five clubs or the two leagues which seems odd given the significance of these proposals. More to come one imagines.
In the meantime you might like to test the little grey cells with the following. Geoff Pullar of Lancashire and England who died on December 28th played 28 test matches between 1959 and 1963. Can you name the six opening partners who accompanied him to the crease in his test career? Answers next time.
