Recently I purchased on Ebay the above summery of matches
played by St.Chads cricket club in 1899.They started on the
played by St.Chads cricket club in 1899.They started on the
St. Chads cricket club in 1899. They started on the 22
April against Davis Burrow @ Co who were brush makers.
The weather was not ideal cricket day stated the local press
as the air was very cold and searching. St Chads won the
match by 8 wickets as Davis Burrow side only scored 17.
The ground is between St.Chads Church and Otley Road in Headingley.
It is quite a small ground but the club is a progressive club and is
a very busy running a number of sides.
In 1899 they played on a weekly basis until 17 September when
they played St.Columba Church which is on Headingley Lane
Other teams they played were The Brewery, Meanwood, Roundhay
Horsforth St.Mary,Taylor Drug Company, John Barron@Sons
Artington and Illingworth Ingham.
All together they played 23 matches winning 8,losing 5 drawing 5
and not playing 5.
They were not in a league but there numerous operating at this
time which are no longer existing including Leeds West Yorkshire,
Leeds Church League , Leeds Primitive Methodist League
Leeds Temperance and the Church Leeds Brigade.
Where have all the grounds gone and their records ?
At least these records will go back to the club after lockdown
