PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE FINAL LEAGUE WEEKEND



By Brian Sanderson

John has very keenly written the blog for this weekend but I thought I would show some of my seventy photographs taken in the last two days. Above is Clifton Alliance bowling to Sheriff Hutton. Clifton is one of my favorite grounds.

Matthew Fisher, England under 19 and Yorkshire , bowling for Sheriff Hutton. He took 4- 19.


Sunday was the trip to Saddleworth League and the first match against South West Manchester

A photograph of John Morris in the scorebox and he is Mr. Friarmere  as he cuts the grass, organising the club and scores eventhough he still recovering from a heart by pass operation. What a great fellow.

There is advertising board at Friarmere supporting the Saddlewoth League which has now finished after this weekend matches

Moving on to the second match at Greenfield. Great views towards the hills. There is 20/20 matches  on this ground on Saturday  starting at 10.30.

A photograph of Ken Hickin in the flat cap, known as Blackpool Ken, who is the premier P.C.W in Lancashire as he travels everywhere by public transport, He is also a lover of Scottish football and brass bands.

Moving on up the hill to Micklehurst. First time I have seen a fielder with a white bowls flat cap.

Great views towards Cheshire.

Moving on to Stayley. I do not know why they have a pirates flag flying.

One of the more unusual scoreboards.

David Thorpe found a duck.

Last ground was Austerlands and had two score boards. The first one with the score from last weeks first team match.

The correct score for the match between Austerlands seconds and Wythenshane. By this time there was a cold wind blowing and everybody was waiting for the end of the season.

Great views over Manchester. This was my final league match of the 2015 season but there still is the County match this week and Arthington for another three weeks. Hope the weather is better than today.
